Great San Jose skate rock, probably the band that most people would associate with skateboarding in the 80s. Songs range from short thrashy blasts, rockin mid tempo punk, to slower, eerie, almost gothic songs. Sloppy and fun, probably their most consistent release. (AB) [8] Good skate core with some rock/metal influence, but the mix is really terrible, the vocals are mixed so low that you can hardly hear them. (bj) [7]
Genialer Skaterock aus San Jose, vielleicht ihre beste Platte. Schneller Hardcore, mid-tempo Punk und einige langsamere und düstere Tracks. (AB)
Tracks: being watched / lost in space / skate and destroy / change of pace / running amok // why save the whales? / fast food diet / not mine / since i was a kid / beyond the mirror
