So if anyone even vaguely knows me they know that I love music from the gritty streets of New York City and this is a forgotten gem that I really feel is worth revisiting. It's a poppy little sleazy album that flows with great energy and overall is a sing-along good time. This was unfortunately the bands only proper full length release and I think "Pretty Suicide" was a minor hit and the song "Spit" was featured in the movie "The Crow: City of Angels". It also includes a very nice version of The Velvet Underground classic, "Sunday Morning". Check it out, for sure.
