Just want to let everyone know that this album is one of the best albums from the 90's. Really really good alternative rock with a 70's NY twinge. Amazing vocals by Brijette. I mean, you can rock out with your air guitar. Or sing along. Or dance slow and sultry to that last song "Spit." Get this, you need it, especially when you can buy it used for under a dollar...

I was first exposed to this band when they opened for Marilyn Manson in '96 & after seeing them, their songs stuck in my head & I had to buy this cd to fill that void left after the show....EVERY song on this CD is great...."Sunday Morning" is the ONLY slow song....every song on this CD is pure punk rawk power!

when I first heard "spit" on the crow:city of angels soundtrack I was floored...after searching forever for the album and finally finding it in an obscure cd shop in the N section for five dollars (what luck) I've been hooked since...Miss West is a beautiful vocalist and this album deserves more credit than it will ever get.

I bought this cd used a few years ago, and never really listened to it over that time; but recently I have taken a liking to it. My attention was caught when it occured to me that 'Song for Margo' is the same Margo from a story I read in 7th grade (I don't remember the title or writer, if you know, tell me!). The album quite good, but only after you listen to it for a while can you begin to recongize what separates it from ever other rock band; I guess I'm trying to say it will grow on you.

Product arrived in a very timely fashion! I was able to purchase this CD for much less than any where else!

Its odd that this band went nowhere - the album is solid and memorable even though it is sentimental for a 70s punk scene. I think the audience just never materialized - teens in 1996 were in the thrall of hip-hop.

It makes me physicaly ill knowing that this band is not selling out stadiums and is now defunct. I would literally give up my left arm to see them live if anyone knows what this band is doing PLEASE email me it is a rock and roll emergency.

This album is breathtaking and speaks to the soul of any angstridden teenagers. All the songs are beautiferous with the exception of Sunday Morning, which bites the big one. Vocals, lyrics, intstrumentals, A+. What would the nineties be wihtout angst like this...

Absolutely brillant. Makes you wish there were other punk albums like this. Even now I am humming the song to "Pretty Suicide" ..
