I think these guys are from Boston, which suggests that there really needs to be a book written about the vast amount of terrific and weird stuff to come out of Beantown in the 70s-80s. Is it garage? Is it post-punk? Is it art-rock?
It’s all of that and more. Imagine if Wall of Voodoo and B-52s went to a party and got in a three way with early XTC. And then The Replacements showed up with more alcohol. 

This record is rambunctious and ramshackle. I sort of love it.
