reviews, tidbits, etc.
"Bass, drums, non-screechy vocals, no guitar, and a penchant for weirdness all add up to this debut outing from San Francisco's newest lovechild comprised of Chris Dodge (SPAZZ bassist), Matt Martin (old CAPITALIST CASUALTIES drummer), and Lydia Dodge (from SPAZZ to M.D.C. to ABBA - you name it, she's done it). "Caveat Emptor" is hard to pin down, but easy to get into. It's got it all: high-speed blender-core power violence attacks; meathead mosh tunes suitable for trouncing to; tape loops and cartoonish weirdness that would please even the staunchest noise fanatic. It's the new wave of extreme music, but contrary to the title, the buyer need not beware!"

"The volcano song on this record is so fucking cool!"
