The group's basic musical agenda entailed molesting a slew of '60s and ‘70s hard rock, punk, and metal influences, ranging from the MC5 to Black Sabbath to AC/DC to the Ramones to contemporary rock revivalists like Valient Thorr, with loose, cacophonous, and clearly tongue-in-cheek results. The band's first release -- a four-track EP prophetically entitled Audio Testament -- helped bring them to the attention of Teepee Records, which reissued it eponymously the following year, following a three-way split 12" LP pairing Lecherous Gaze with labelmates Earthless and Oregonian arcane rockers Danava. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
