Ledby renowned producer Jack Endino, the group issued a handful ofunderrated releases during a seven-year career, including their 1988sophomore full-length, Hallowed Ground. But don't be misled, althoughthere are indeed some tricky bits included here, it's not music thathas been slaved over in the studio and dissected -- the members' punkbackgrounds are certainly reflected in the live-in-the-roomproduction. Standouts include the album-opening "Stranger"(which musically, is comparable to early Shudder to Think),"Open Fist" (with melodic vocals that bring to mind BobMould), and the groove-y title track.
