The Uplift Mofo Party Plan

Aggressive, high-velocity funk-punk recorded by the original four-piece. Slap-bass leads and distorted guitars collide in a sweat-soaked celebration of LA street life.

Original lineup peak

A bruising, high-speed collision of street-level rap and heavy metal riffs marks the only studio document to feature all four founding members. Under the guidance of producer Michael Beinhorn, the band trades the dry minimalism of their past for a dense, loud, and intensely physical basement-show energy, driven by Jack Irons' tribal drumming and Hillel Slovak's gritty, psychedelic guitar work.
