Album Notes & Community Reviews

Channeling the gritty, unpolished energy of early rhythm and blues, 'First Offence' includes the band's internationally charting rendition of The Standells' classic "Dirty Water". The recording sessions prioritized a live-in-the-studio intensity over slick production techniques, aligning firmly with the pub rock ethos.
