Offend Maggie is the first Deerhoof album to feature current guitarist Ed Rodriguez.
This Polyvinyl re-issue features a different track sequence than the original pressing (released in 2008 and now out-of-print on vinyl).
Deerhoof offset the cutesiness with fuzzed-out riffs and brawny beats that even AC/DC fans could dig.
Though the sludgy abrasiveness of 1970s classic rock dominates, the influences, instruments and electronic sounds fly by at a dizzying pace.
