We're not gonna talk about the cover. Or the title. Or...the band name. It was the '90s and there were buttons that people felt the need to push, that's all. We are going to talk about the tape, which is..fine. Monterey is essentially Bay Area, but it's also totally not - like Allentown to Philadelphia or some shit, but a weird confluence of rural and money and tourists...and high energy shit punk. This is the sound of Libertatia, of HazMat - even though the band existed outside the orbit of one and before the time of the other. Wanna get too drunk and say the wrong thing...? THE JONBEBET STRANGLEHOLD are right there with you.
