This is essential, no two ways about it. None more snotty, obnoxious, sloppy or flamboyant, Le Shok held for a hot minute the highly coveted 'most-hated-band-in-Cali' throne. Driven by an affinity for pills not prescribed to them and a relentless vehemence towards their audiences, Le Shok managed to summon the kind of rambunctiously violent angst not present in punk since The Screamers or Land Speed Record. This record sits very happily in between garage and synth-punk making it a prized possession in mine and anyone's vinyl collection. The sheer originality this music presents is a great testament to the band's message of 'be different and be loud, no matter how many people will beat you up.' This album stands as their definitive statement, one no one has dared try and imitate, not even Le Shok. I know you're fucking ready...
