Reviews: One of the most powerful new groups I've heard from SoCal. It's head-on thrash meets Social Distortion. The production is great, and it doesn't hurt that their lyrical commitment matches the intensity of the music. -Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #6, May/June 1983) Some of the same cuts are on here as on the split Mox Nix/Livers Orgy at Green Acres tape, but these are different versions. A real powerful garage hardcore band that doesn't sound like every other band. Too bad they broke up. In case you didn't know (and I didn't) Mox Nix is bastardized German for "it makes no difference," and I guess they guys were kind of nihilistic, if not in their lyrics then in the way they shred and slur their way through the songs. The same label has a compilation called Who Says We Slur? and I say: Me! Keep on slurring, kids. -Shane Williams (from Factsheet Five #19, August 1986)
