Everything

Compiling the entirety of their shockingly brief studio output—amounting to less than twenty minutes of music—this retrospective documents the most uncompromising act of the late-1970s No Wave scene. Led by Lydia Lunch's shrieking vocals and atonal, violently untutored guitar playing, the group actively sought to completely eradicate the traditional structures of rock and roll. The abrasive, nihilistic recordings collected here remain a touchstone for extreme noise rock and underground avant-garde punk.
