Unknown-ness: I never heard of this band. But I like the artwork that looks like a socket wrench size chart. Simple b/w with the white vinyl was very appealing, and there is minimal info about them, so its hard to imagine their style, but I'd have to guess some sort of indie rock.
Album Review: The shouty vocals remind me of something between Rage Against the Machine and Braniac. Musically, it has some prog bass, catchy guitars, and bombastic drums, in line with a straight forward melodic emo band. They were known `for their energetic live shows and lo-fi sound, comparable to Fugazi and Black Flag.
