Album Notes & Community Reviews

Seeking a broader commercial breakthrough, the band relocated to Norway to record 'To Hell With The Boys', resulting in a significantly beefed-up production. The tracks amplify their trademark melodic hooks with a muscular, highly infectious power pop energy. Despite its undeniable catchiness and raw exuberance, the record struggled to break the band into the mainstream amidst the shifting post-punk landscape.
