Album Notes & Community Reviews

This three-disc collection meticulously gathers the first three monumental studio albums from Greg Sage's fiercely independent Portland punk outfit. The compilation highlights their pioneering blend of blistering, lo-fi punk aggression with sweeping, delay-heavy guitar solos and deeply alienated, introspective lyricism. Reissued to massive acclaim, the records collected here were famously championed by Kurt Cobain as foundational pillars of the Pacific Northwest's alternative rock scene.
