In an interview with Rolling Stone, Kirkwood said: "The producer says it sounds a lot like Eighties, SST-era, Up On the Sun Meat Puppets. But there's more bouncy rhythms -- we do a lot more stuff that was inspired by The Selecter, The Specials, and Bob Marley."

Kirkwood wanted to name the band "Pine Cone", but was outvoted by other group members.

The album was released as a limited edition on Skunk Records and to date (2022) has not been reprinted.
