'Junk Yard'

Isn't The Birthday Party the biggest misnomer in rock music?

If a band could somehow try to sound like the opposite of their name, The Birthday Party did it.

This is reckless, angry-sounding and raw. Sounds like it was recorded in someone's basement. Kept waiting to hear the guy's mom walk in and change out the laundry.



This is good. Exactly what punk should've been in the first place.
