Emerging from the confrontational New York underground, this abrasive debut acts as a crucial bridge between no wave dissonance and 90s noise rock. 'Amer$ide' is characterized by screeching, highly unconventional guitar tuning, pummeling tribal drums, and venomously anti-capitalist lyrical themes. The incredibly intense, scraping sonics championed by producer Glenn Branca heavily influenced the trajectory of the East Coast noise rock scene.
