Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originally released as a stopgap 7-inch prior to their debut full-length album, this brief but explosive collection perfectly distills the Washington D.C. quartet's ethical and rhythmic urgency. The fiercely political, dynamic tracks highlight their signature blend of jagged, dub-influenced basslines and furiously interlocking dual-guitar attacks. The standout 'Song #1' became a heavily rotated staple of their legendary, highly affordable live shows.
