The Birthday Party

by The Boys Next Door

The final album released under The Boys Next Door moniker serves as the chaotic, violently unhinged bridge toward the band formally renaming themselves The Birthday Party. Driven by Nick Cave's terrifying, manic vocals and Rowland S. Howard's jagged guitar noise, the record is a fiercely energetic, intensely dark, and wildly misanthropic milestone of early post-punk.
