Album Notes & Community Reviews

The critically acclaimed debut from the New Jersey quartet perfectly captured a moody, 1960s-indebted strain of alternative rock. Driven by the massive success of 'Blood and Roses', the album balances driving power pop rhythms with Pat DiNizio's bittersweet, Beatles-esque songwriting and heavily distorted Rickenbacker guitars.
