Album Notes

Ball crushing progressions...rude awakenings from a deep sleep...Sugar, and cream...PISS AND VINEGAR... good friends... die-hard support systems... underground networks.... yellow flowers splattered with blood...Fists that fly by...naked and drunk by the telephone... Independent... Amalgam... gnarled road kills on the back of the van...dry heaves.... where are we...a cup full of bile...a handful of heart.... a stamp of disapproval...a loving fuck you... We're taking over from here, if that's ok!
