Album Notes & Community Reviews

The monumental, highly sought-after demo EP that sparked a massive international bidding war and ignited the 2000s garage rock revival. Featuring rawer, slightly faster versions of three tracks that would later appear on 'Is This It', it perfectly captures their incredibly stylish, Television-inspired downtown New York energy.
