Released when most of the band members were barely out of their teens, the sharply dressed Swedish quintet's debut album is an explosive blast of high-energy, lo-fi garage punk. The blisteringly fast tempos and Howlin' Pelle Almqvist's wildly charismatic, shrieking vocals expertly laid the groundwork for their impending international garage-rock breakthrough.
