Chainsaw Kittens is the fourth studio album by the American alternative rock band Chainsaw Kittens. It was released in 1996 through Scratchie Records.[1] [2]
Critical reception
Alternative Rock wrote that the "glitter roots still shine through boldly, but the punk intensity has disappeared, along with most of their jangly pop melodies."[3] The Chicago Tribune called it "one of the sleeper pop records of '96" and "arguably the career high point" for the band.[4]
