"Pure unadulterated hard-core thrash! The hedonistic fun world of the skater/thrasher comes to life in it's rawest form on this disc. Have no delusions - this is raw back-to-basics stuff. Everything is cranked up to 11 and burns along at light-speed. And you can't help be infected by the amount of fun these guys are obviously having in the studio, it's ultra-hedonism. This is a CD re-release of the original 80's vinyl LP "Retard Picnic" which has been padded out with some dug-up rarities and out-takes from various studio sessions, and remastered to make 55 odd minutes of million miles per hour pure hard-core thrash... In between tracks Tommy Stupid and Ed Shred are in their element enacting off-the-cuff 'disco scenes', discussing the frequency of their bowel movements, and generally just taking the piss in true Stupids fashion (don't miss their version of the Seseme Street fave "In Your Neighbourhood"). If you're into the Hard-Ons, Bad Brains, Helmet, or even Greenday, you just might be into this... Just don't take it too seriously - have fun! YAH DUDE!!!"
