Album Description
The LP is a raw, 13-track blast of puberty-drenched, "Killed By Death" (KBD) style punk. It balances buzzsaw guitars and frantic tempo with a snotty, nihilistic attitude. The lyrics are characteristically angst-ridden, focusing on feelings of alienation, being misunderstood, and adolescent frustration. [1, 2, 3, 4]
