Album Notes & Community Reviews
Serving as the final release to feature original vocalist Dez Cadena before Henry Rollins officially joined the band, this ferocious 7-inch captures the Southern California pioneers at their most confrontational. The iconic title track delivers a brutally sarcastic, razor-sharp critique of apathetic suburban alcoholism, driven by Greg Ginn's increasingly frantic and dissonant guitar work. The blistering speed and raw aggression perfectly encapsulated the dangerous energy of the early 80s hardcore scene.
