Debut album from Chicago band formed from the ashes of Tyler Jon Tyler. Playing furious & snarling post-punk in the vein of Wipers/Siouxsie & the Banshees Negative Scanner have been destroying rooms in Chicago's vibrant DIY since 2012, earning well-deserved accolades as one of the cities best live bands.

Their electrifying debut album finds the band taking on all comers; guitarist/vocalist Rebecca Valeriano-Flores' gutteral howl & lyrics have gained confidence over the course of the band's previous two singles in 2014 (their debut on Trouble In Mind & it's follow-up on Tall Pat Records).

The band (guitarist Matt Revers, bassist Nathan Beaudoin & drummer Tom Cassling) have evolved into a lurching, post-punk tornado furiously spinning into near-chaos but never leaving the band's capable control.

The album's opener "Ivy League Asshole" sets the tone - feral & ragged guitars chug over the rhythm section & Flores' manic yelp spits out lyrics borne out of confusion, agression, domination & submission to life, living, lovers & beyond.

The album eleven tracks in 28 minutes fly by the listener, threatening whiplash but begging to be replayed.

Negative Scanner's s/t debut was recorded by the band themselves in their practice space, mixed by Mike Lust's Phantom Mobile Unit & mastered by Australian legend Mikey Young (Total Control/Eddy Current Suppression Ring).
