AllMusic[2]

The Germ is an album by the California punk band Victim's Family.[3][4] It was their first to be released on the Alternative Tentacles label, after departing Mordam Records.[3]

The album's cover illustration, titled "Yellow Head," was created by Harvey Stafford.

Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic praised the album's break from traditional hardcore, writing that some songs "are closer to the tripped-out indie psychedelia of Screaming Trees or Meat Puppets."[2]
