Album Notes & Community Reviews

Also known informally as 'Brown Reason to Live', this utterly deranged debut violently smashed punk energy against avant-garde absurdity. The recording captures the band's legendary live chaos, featuring bizarre vocal manipulations, squalling saxophones, and completely unhinged lyrics. It established the Texan group as one of the most uniquely frightening and subversive acts in the 1980s American underground.
