referencing Throb Throb, LP, Album, HMS008

The 2nd LP from Chicago punk superstars is the one that nicely threads the needle between the more willfully obscure sound of Basement Screams, and the more populist woah-woahs of their later output. The political sentiments are well put (pretty pretty boys... onward to Minagua) and Surf Combat features one of my fave Raygun lines... "Muscle Beach is now Porkshop Hill" (which was penned by my friend and former bandmate, Camilo Gonzalez) over a fairly obtuse riff.

Stirring stuff.
