Album Notes & Community Reviews

Embracing a heavier, increasingly sample-reliant aesthetic, the Stourbridge Grebo pioneers delivered a bombastic collision of hip-hop beats and distorted guitar rock. 'The Looks or the Lifestyle?' features driving, industrial-tinged rhythms and cynical, pop-culture-obsessed lyricism, highlighted by the hit single 'Get the Girl! Kill the Baddies!'. The album showcased their uncanny ability to predict the late 90s digital-rock crossover.
