Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in a furious two-week burst as a direct, rebellious response to his label rejecting the moodier 'Love Is Hell', the songwriter delivered a brash homage to classic alternative radio. The electric, high-energy tracks notably feature guest appearances from Melissa Auf der Maur and Billie Joe Armstrong.
