The Insidious Rays
More Songs about Sex, Love, Death and Sex
The "Skullfro" was imagery dreamed up by lead singer and guitarist Matty Love and brought into an underground marketing reality by Laura at Squeezebox. The iconic psycho-surf-pirate-punk-rock image spread from this album to Tshirts being worn across the country, stickers adorning cars the tri-state over, and buttons and posters tacked from NYC to Allentown to St. Louis. All hail the Skullfro! The live show and beach photography on this 4panel digipak design is also by Laura.
