Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third studio album from the fiercely eccentric Canadian punk outfit, led by the legendary music journalist Nardwuar the Human Serviette. It is an incredibly energetic, deeply humorous blast of garage-tinged power pop, replete with obscure historical references and raw, eclectic surf-rock guitar tones.
