Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by Sean Bonniwell's abrasive vocals and a signature fuzz-bass tone, this Los Angeles group introduced a notably darker, more aggressive edge to garage rock. The five-piece utilizes swirling Farfisa organ and jagged tempo shifts to execute menacing, proto-punk variations of mid-60s psychedelia.

Genres

Descriptors: fuzz, unpolished, lo-fi, vintage, jangly
