A noisy, ear-melting, metalish, noise rockish duo from Fargo, ND (later relocated to Olympia, WA). Started in 1991, by Mike Kunka and Dan Haugh. Often known for their sonic blasts of sound during live shows. Haugh actually attests to this in an interview stating, “At our last show in Seattle, during the final song, which is only Mike on bass for the first few minutes, I had to leave the stool and kneel behind Mike’s amps and dry heave until I had to go play again.” (Phoenix New Times) Both members are also lovers of BMX and Mountain Dew (as shown in the picture with the Melvins).

I was trawling through my favorite record store many many years ago and saw this little gem, opened it up and saw it has a 'fantasy' BMX track drawn in it, and just had to buy it.
