Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring original vocalist Keith Morris, this fiercely raw debut fundamentally ignited the Southern California hardcore punk movement. The abrasive guitars and frantic tempos perfectly captured teenage alienation, establishing a furious new paradigm that completely separated from traditional rock. It was the very first release on the legendary independent label founded by guitarist Greg Ginn.
