Album Notes & Community Reviews

The San Diego outfit's self-titled release is an incredibly hostile, hyper-kinetic barrage of grindcore blasts and piercing analog synthesizers. Cloaked in insectoid stage costumes, the band's terrifyingly fast, deeply bizarre subversion of hardcore punk heavily catalyzed the emergence of the underground 'sass' aesthetic.
