Album Notes & Community Reviews
The sole studio album from the legendary Berkeley quartet fundamentally established the blueprint for 90s third-wave ska and punk rock. Featuring future members of Rancid, 'Energy' is a fiercely rebellious, incredibly fast-paced collection of politically charged street anthems that remain distinctly playful and highly energetic.
