Mike Watt and his collaborators pushed the limits of the punk aesthetic by adding jazz rhythms and non-standard song structures. The result is an unpredictable ride through the mind of an underground musician.
Rough and spontaneous production highlights the energy of a band that favored creative freedom over polish. It serves as an interesting piece of nineties alternative music, where technical skill met a DIY approach.
