"Reissue of the second LP from Albuquerque, New Mexico's The Drags. 12 tracks of top of the slop '90s trash punk reissued for the very first time. A bit beefier than the debut but still a completely lo-fi affair. Budget anthems about electricity, explosives, and cannibalism! Without The Drags and this album in particular there would be no Total Punk!"

"I stumbled upon the Drags way back in 1995. It was my first trip outside the state of Florida as an adult. We were going up to Atlanta to see The Cramps. I knew nothing about The Drags but the cover caught my eye and Johnny B from The Crumbs told me I had to buy it. He also handed me the first Back From The Grave that day. Later that night I saw and heard Guitar Wolf for the first time. It was my first introduction to Estrus, Crypt, and the genre of 'garagepunk.' A pivotal day indeed, and for better or worse, started me on my path into the luxurious life of a dirt broke middle aged label owner. From there on I was buying anything with the Estrus or Crypt logo and scouring the Estrus catalog for more lo-fi trashy tunes. For my money and in all my searching no one did it better than The Drags! Their name should be up there with Teengenerate, Supercharger, and The Mummies! All these years later and I still consistently pull out my Drags records and they sound just as exciting to me now as they did at the age of 18. The songs are razor sharp, never let up, and make you want to throw your body against the wall and shout. Then there is the fantastic imagery provided by Art Chantry." --Total Punk Records
