Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing their second full-length album in the same calendar year as their debut, the Los Angeles punk jesters further refined their incredibly fast, melodic attack. The frantic record perfectly balances highly memorable original power-pop compositions with absurd, sped-up covers of classic rock staples, including a legendary rendition of 'Nights in White Satin'. It firmly cemented their reputation as the undisputed masters of cartoonish, hyperactive pop-punk.
