Very good review of this band's final recording here. Ron Asheton and Niagara from DESTROY ALL MONSTERS...it's weird to think about a band with DEAD BOYS and STOOGES members wailing away at under the radar bar shows in the '90s.

Worth it just to hear Doc snarl "Cops For Fertilizer" at a bunch of civilians. Take a minute to conceptualize this set, when and where it was recorded, and then reassess what is punk.
