The album opens with the sludge-y Huff Joules, a song that features parched vocals and meaty guitar riffs. Kratsas' sneering vocals and an onslaught of hard-rock riffs distinguish aggressive songs like "If-Then/Else and Truisms of Infinite Regress. Body, Our Contronym features rousing gang style vocals. The album’s other songs have a similar intensity to them. Though Frank and Kratsas never met the late comic-book writer Harvey Pekar, they decided upon the band name because it references their childhood experiences hanging out at comic book shops. Elliott and I spent most of our adolescent at a comic book store while we were discovering music, Kratsas says. When I thought of naming the band ‘Harvey Pekar,’ I was thinking of his honesty and observant nature and that aspect of his writing and, of course, the fact that he was from Cleveland. When I write lyrics, I think about how that fits into it.
