Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spearheaded by Detroit garage-rock titan Mick Collins, the band's debut full-length introduces their highly unorthodox, bass-heavy double-drummer lineup. The record is a massively energetic, fuzzed-out explosion of 1960s soul and rhythm and blues traditions completely dismantled by raw punk ferocity and chaotic noise rock.
