Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking the introduction of drummer Jon Wurster, the Chapel Hill quartet's third album solidifies their signature blend of hyper-energetic punk velocity and infectious indie-pop melodies. The driving, distorted anthems perfectly encapsulate the DIY slacker-rock ethos of the 1990s underground.
