About the album

Narrated by the Central Scrutinizer, the story follows Joe, a kid from Canoga Park who forms a garage band and runs afoul of a society where music is outlawed, a wild satire of censorship, religion and the music business.

The title track is a catchy garage-rock romp, "A Token of My Extreme" and "Sy Borg" are inventive, "Packard Goose" rails at critics, and "Watermelon in Easter Hay" is a breathtaking, emotional instrumental.

Bring a thinking cap.
