Album Notes & Community Reviews

Revered as the true, uncompromising godfathers of the Seattle scene, the band's sole full-length album is a frantic, deeply unhinged amalgamation of swampy psychobilly and harsh noise rock. Their erratic, wildly theatrical sound bridged the gap between post-punk dissonance and the massive, sludgy alternative explosion that was about to consume the Pacific Northwest.
