Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving decisively beyond their hardcore punk origins, the McDonald brothers fully embraced their kaleidoscopic pop-culture obsessions on this underground classic. 'Neurotica' blends infectious, bubblegum power pop hooks with buzzing garage rock guitars and gleefully bizarre lyricism inspired by Saturday morning cartoons and b-movies.
