Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating from Davis, California, the band expanded the core Paisley Underground sound with their first full-length effort. The record pairs 1960s garage rock sensibilities with fierce, Television-inspired dual guitar interplay provided by Richard McGrath and Russ Tolman. It remains a highly respected cult classic of the burgeoning 1980s American college rock scene.
