The album contains songs by The Good Rats, Twisted Sister, and Zebra,[1] among others, and was partially attributed to the success of these bands.

The recording of Zebra's first hit "Who's Behind the Door?," is an earlier version not found on their own 1983 debut album.

One of the more interesting tracks was Random Speed's "Radio Active Baby Food", a novelty song partially inspired by the 1979 Three Mile Island accident, and the Long Island Lighting Company's controversially proposed Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant.

Swift Kick featured future Saraya members Tony Bruno (also with Danger Danger and Rihanna) and Chuck Bonfante and was NOT the band with the same name and active around the same time which had future Dio member Tracy G on guitar.

Apparently, they consisted of a cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Mr. Crowley" by The Osmonds, "Love Is All Around" (The Theme from The Mary Tyler Moore Show), by Judas Priest, a cover of The Doors song "Roadhouse Blues" by Johann Sebastian Bach, "Jeremy Bendover" by Emerson, Lake & Curley, "Can't You See the Freebird, Jessica?"
