Legacy

In 1998, The Wire included Trapdoor Fucking Exit in their list of "100 Records That Set the World on Fire (While No One Was Listening)". The staff described the album as "the sound of three newly freed New Zealanders wrestling with the implications of punk-primitive aesthetics in the wake of US/Euro free jazz ground leveling. Two broken guitars and a rapid-firing drummer, playing lead, singlehandedly redefined the concept of garage punk without any considerations of melody, rhythm or fidelity."[3]
