    That these reformed second-wave, southside Brisbane punks actually manage to sound dangerous on new recordings made four decades later comes down to the fact they were more of a Flipper-meets-latter-day-Black-Flag-styled grind than a cheap Pistolstake-off, before - in the words of their label - “drugs, death and depression took over”, and they dissolved.

    They reformed, more or less intact, a few years ago to play live and promote some re-issues, and these songs are the fruit of a studio session.
