Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a vital precursor to the Scandinavian garage-rock revival of the 1990s, this incredibly raw debut channels the chaotic, fuzz-drenched energy of The Stooges. The Swedish outfit delivers a highly confrontational barrage of howling saxophone and aggressive, sleazy punk-rock riffing that actively rejected the glossy pop of the era.
