THE REVIEW
Believe me, it's not a fairy tale. I had a CD in the car, used only as a target support.
One rainy evening, I had quite a rough night; I looked at the CD with hatred as if it was its fault.
I stared at it, "Victims Family," the band. "The Germs," the title. I had other stuff, and somehow my anger passed; I felt empathy for that poor, scratched cover from worn-out bank cards.
I put it in the player. Maybe it was the Rum, but believe me, it was a blast.
Hardcore riffs, driven by a killer rhythm section. Perfect technique, general hysteria. A punk funk magazine spun by a furious electric wind. Amphetamine starts with sudden jazz core stop and go. Sudden vignettes. Psychedelic moments like the meditation of a psychopath.
A roundabout where the Dead Kennedys clash with No Means No, moments of misplaced fantasy like a bottle thrown from a window, brawls ending in a good drink.
For the record, they used to record for "Alternative Tentacles," and they are Canadian, and when Canadians go all out, they really go all out.

Combining hardcore punk riffs with elements of funk, jazz, and psychedelia, the band delivers a technically skilled, chaotic, and unique experience. Their connection to the Alternative Tentacles label and Canadian roots add context. Overall, the album leaves a strong impression of furious creativity and vivid musical variation.Tracklist
