Album Notes & Community Reviews
Spearheading the Swedish garage rock revival, the band unleashed a raw and incredibly energetic blast of fuzz-drenched punk on 'Temptation Pays Double'. The album masterfully blends 1960s garage psych aesthetics with the furious tempo of early 1980s hardcore. It stands as a crucial foundational release for the Scandinavian action rock movement that would flourish in the ensuing decades.
