Album Notes & Community Reviews

Culled from a five-night residency in Dublin dubbed "working rehearsals", this expansive set finds the legendary alternative rock band tearing through their early IRS-era back catalog and testing out new material. Stripped of arena production, the energetic, guitar-driven performances reflect a band consciously reconnecting with their raw, post-punk roots.
