Feat. Kurt Bloch of the Fastbacks on guitar. First pressing includes bonus 7” (see below).

They finally threw out their somewhat old-fashioned 60's sound and went punk (almost) all the way. Incredible melodic punk/rock/hardcore which is similar to the Fastbacks in a lot of ways, but with a wider range of other influences: 60s, R’n’R, Ramones etc. Their best album, or at least the one that's closest to punk. A must have. [9]  

Wer alle seine Fastbacks-Platten schon rückwärts auswendig mitsingen kann und nach neuem Futter lechzt, ist hiermit gerettet. Genialer, poppiger, melodischer Punk/Core/Rock, der den Fastbacks manchmal sehr nahe steht, bei anderen Songs aber auch für erfrischende Abwechslung sorgt: 60s-, R’n’R- und Ramones-Zitate werden gekonnt verarbeitet. P-F-L-I-C-H-T.

Tracks: the telephone tree / sittin’ on a pitchfork / looking around / whirlpool / hard to mention / thirsty / once in a while // hillbilly drummer girl / fear bitterness and hatred / tomorrow’s gone (and so are you) / evening / there’s a love / swiftly but gently
