New York's own special breed of satanic, political, ska-punks bring a very unique sound and style to table with their debut album for Hellcat. This frantically tempoed onslaught features lashing guitar riffs, rapid-fire drum beats, groove-laden bass chords and vocals that range from explosive screeching to mellowed-out sing-along choruses that all add up to an album that is truly as original as it is evil.

REPRAZENT! EAST-SYYYYYYYYDE!!!
PLEASE SUPPORT THE ZAPATISTAS IN CHIAPAS, MEXICO. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT THEN A GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED MASSACRE OF THESE OPPRESSED FARMERS MAY POSSIBLY BE AVERTED DUE TO OUR COLLECTIVE FOCUS AND ATTENTION TOWARD THEIR GOV'T AS WELL AS OUR GOV'TS' POSSIBLE ACTIONS.
ALSO (AND DESPITE HIS PREJUDICED VIEW TOWARDS HOMOSEXUALS) MUMIA ABU-JAMAL IS ON DEATH ROW IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR A CRIME THAT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT COMMIT. HE IS A POLITICAL PRISONER AND HIS REAL "CRIMES" WERE NOT HIS TRUMPED-UP CHARGES OF MURDERING A POLICE OFFICER, BUT OF BEING A JOURNALIST WHO FOR DECADES UNRELENTINGLY CRITICIZED THE HYPOCRITICAL INSTITUTIONS AND PRACTICES OF THE GOV'T. IF THERE IS ANYTHING IMPORTANT TO PROTEST WITHIN OUR NATIONAL BORDERS, MUMIA'S IMPENDING EXECUTION IS CERTAINLY A PRIORITY, ESPECIALLY FOR ANYBODY WHO SUPPORTS FREE SPEECH AND A FREE PRESS.
FUCK THE ALAMO!! REMEMBER MICHEAL STEWART!! REMEMBER MICHEAL GRIFFITH!! REMEMBER THE "MOVE" FRAME-UP AND SUBSEQUENT HOUSE BOMBING BY OUR OWN "PROTECTORS AND SERVERS", AND MOST OF ALL THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU ARE TOLD THAT YOU LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, WITH LIBERY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. THESE THINGS ONLY ACTUALLY APPLY TO THE RICH AND PRIVILEGED FEW AND NOT TO ME OR TO YOU.
FUCK THE POLICE.
