Album Notes & Community Reviews

This release introduced a volatile mixture of muscular punk energy, complex rhythm changes, and live tape-loop manipulation. It features the underground anthem 'That's When I Reach for My Revolver', which cemented the band's status in the early American indie rock canon. The intense volume of their live performances during this era famously led to the premature end of their original run.
