Album Notes & Community Reviews

The fiercely independent Dutch anarcho-punk collective traveled to England to record this abrasive effort with producer Jon Langford of The Mekons. The angular, clattering guitar noise and driving, tribal rhythms form a chaotic but tightly focused backdrop for their highly sarcastic and overtly political critiques of Western imperialism.
