I tried searching but couldn't find any mention of them. Anyway, this is some sick shit:

If they have been mentioned before, feel free to make sarcastic comments geared in my direction and link to the appropriate thread.

I expected this to suck but checked it out anyway. But, I thought 2 of the 3 songs on the MySpace page pretty much kicked ass, especially Keep On Knockin'. I wouldn't call it psychedelic myself, more just straight up Detroit garage punk, but I'd be curious to hear the rest of the album.

Probably you know more about genre-lizing than I do... alls I know is it kicks ass.

Apparently the story goes something like this (from reading their myspace bio)
Recorded album for Columbia. Columbia demanded they change their name before they'd release it. They refused. Took advance money and pressed a limited run to give out at shows. Disappeared. Vinyl was a rarity, of course, but quality. Drag City picked up the rights and released it last month.
