I first heard this song in my favorite bar in the world, Delilah's in Chicago. It was monster horror dj night (or something like that) so there was a lot Misfits and Cramps being played. At first I didn't get how this song fit into the mix, but then it made sense. It kind of sounds like horror movie music.

From what a could gather from the record's cryptic liner notes, the Nuns were from California. I think. The liner notes explained the story of the band in a way where they just assumed you knew what they were talking about, which i didn't. "Suicide Child" is a love letter (the Frank Booth kind) from one junkie to another, and it's definitey spite fueled. The other track, "Lazy", is just as ominous. We've all been there at one time or another, some more than others.

Enjoy the Nuns. It's not church music.
