This hotly anticipated debut album from Detroit, Michigan's The Piranhas delivers on the promise of the band's two seven-inch singles and twelve-inch single released on the Tom Perkins and Rock n' Roll Blitzkrieg labels. These early releases have garnered rave reviews and helped land them on the cover of Maximum Rock'n'Roll. Their chaotic live shows have earned them a reputation as one of the few truly primal and dangerous bands around. Their music is a violent head-on collision between art-skronk abstraction and raw punk savagery. Like a mutant cross between Hearpen-era Pere Ubu and Damaged-era Black Flag, with a dose of mid-'70s Cleveland punk poured over the top for good measure. Yet they still sound like nothing else you've heard before.

"The Piranhas fucking destroy. The Piranhas may be the best band of this era. Art damage punk that is so brutal and primordial that it's unbelievable. They make me want to pull my intestines out and chop on them! They make me want to drill through my own hand! I AM NOT FUCKING KIDDING!!! I totally lose my shit over these guys. If you haven't heard any of their shit you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to modern punk. Fuck!!! Fuck!!! Shit!!! DESTROY YOURSELF!!! GET FUCKING PRIMAL!!!" -Horizontal Action
