Cultural Facts:

[Band Origin]: Guitarist Rich Alvarez formed Jackknife after leaving the LA noise-rock band Slug, a jump from art-damage collage rock into leaner garage-punk songwriting.

[Label Home]: They were part of Long Gone Johns Sympathy for the Record Industry world, where bands lived on mailorder, zines, and touring more than mainstream press or radio.

[Catalog Trail]: Before this LP, Jackknife already had multiple Sympathy singles (including the San Fransisco Beauty Queen release), building their reputation one small-format drop at a time.
