Inspired by Minutemen,[2] Saccharine Trust desired to make an album that experimented with different forms of rock.[2] Guitarist Joe Baiza considered music "a conceptual art project".[2]
Joe Baiza initially submitted the art for New Alliance Records' compilation Cracks in the Sidewalk but it was rejected by Mike Watt so Baiza used it for Paganicons instead.[1]
In Journals, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana ranked Paganicons as his ninth favorite record.[4][5][6] Allmusic critic John Dougan was less enthusiastic, criticising vocalist Jack Brewer's performance as "especially irritating and pretentious", though further writing that "there are indications that there's an interesting band here, especially in the abrasive guitar playing of Joe Baiza."[3]
