“The members of the doomed house of Oedipus have thrown together their own garage band. It’s part of a family therapy project, which they sorely need, and nobody’s quite in control. But, you know, they sound pretty good, especially considering that the lead vocalist has just gouged out his eyes, and the chief backup singer is dead.” New York Times
