_Breaking the Balls of History _is a life-affirming blast of melodic drum- and organ-driven rock that rattles with rage, humor, and intelligence. It's the first album in over ten years by Quasi, the long-running band led by Janet Weiss (Sleater Kinney, Wild Flag, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks) and Sam Coomes (Heatmiser, Elliot Smith, Built to Spill).
