From Saratoga Springs comes some crossover riff laden NYHC with all members of the band in the nationally established Silly Pink Bunnies crew (with album artwork done by Jeremy Fish, no less!), not to mention Saratoga staple George DeMers of Full Metal Racket fame, 20+ years and counting on WSPN 91.1 FM. This was the first recording done by hardcore legend Don Fury after he moved up to Troy and opened his new recording studio, which must have been quite the honor for these dudes to help him break it in.
Between drums and bass there is a really solid rhythm section to back the riffs that bounce between metallic shred and hard chugging breakdowns, which gives this some good peaks and valleys and keeps the music from ever getting dull. If I'm being totally honest the vocals were never really my thing but the dude was a ball of frantic energy onstage which made him a natural frontman, and his lyrical content goes above and beyond with over the top vulgarity that gets some laughs, desensitizes you, and then makes you realize how absurd the whole thing is all over again.
