Artist History
Started as another "unnamed" band (we just don't want to give you the name, fucker!) in April of 1999. We got bored, now we've changed our name, and we'll be even sillier. |

Press Reviews
Our mommies like us, we think. We hope, at least. Comments from others: "What is this shit, polka? Limp Bizkit is the best!" (Yeah, like we care about what THAT idiot has to say.. how does Hot Rod Lincoln = Polka?) "This shit is better than Limp Bizkit, anyday!" "whos the new iggy? wow loud,this rocks ,guys you just shit the life out of me,stooges,mc5,damned,lets rock" (REAL old school style!) "fuck shit up, play that funky music white boy, kick ass! fight the power" (We loved that drunken punk!) "Liked the raw feel of this track-took me back a few years. I would say that the bass needs to be up-front a bit so it can sound a lot more groovier. Also, although the vocals were raw, don't change them - they were excellent esp. towards the end of the song with the high-low technique." "I enjoy the (3) piece sound. It's how music was meant to be heard. This is a new track with an old time feel." "The lyrics are great, the punk'n'roll solos are really great, with a better production, this song could be wonderfull..." "I hate southern punk" "Cool song, but recording quality is bad. Cool surf-punk feel" "I have no clue who you guys sound like. I like the woodwinds. It gives it a creative edge; a new fresh feel. There is one slip up in the beginning. It goes flat and fades out briefly. It is good though." "I liked this song and thought the melody was really catchy. Keep up the good work and this time its on my own." "Hey. this is not a punk sound , this is some kind of irish beat. the vocal are too high and we cant hear the instruments. this is not punk." (And we're glad it's not, too!) "Now, I'm a big pogues fan it's nice to hear a band influenced by such, however the vocals could use some fine tuning and" (We'd like to know what else they had to say...) "Very Baroque sounding woodwinds. Very entertaining!!! Vocals really suck, really bad. But the woodwinds more than make up for that. It's a live recording, not exactly professional but oftentimes punk people pride themselves on not being professional. That's why not many of them make it past the garage. The olde style of the whole song is very catchy. Besides the bad vocals and the bad recording the only fault is the lenth of the song. Good job guys!!" (Song was too short, eh?) "Good old english like singing... old punk is very good, and so is what you're doing. Good stuff guys." (We sound english? Ugh.) "I named this the best feel good track ever, because I laughed so hard I thought I might die. Good song if that's what you're going for." "KKK theme song. damn white supremicists" (No, really, we're not.. we just don't like the QUOTA SYSTEM of AFFIRMITIVE ACTION. We love black people, look at our vocalist!) "i like this song. you don't sound overproduced, which is a good thing here. i like your sound. and i'm a 5th level vegan, which means i don't eat anything that casts a shadow." "the intro is just god like but the lyrics could use a little work but all and all its ok. hehe i like the crazy american bashing at the end. the riff is great............. well no. more like god like." (We're glad that we're god like. Now please stop worshipping us.) "I can't even tell what the hell you're saying, but if this is an anti-America song, you picked quite the time to do it...I really hope it isn't. Lead guitar is ok, but needs to stop soloing the whole time. Lyrics just get stupid later on too. Doesn't sound like anything I've heard, which is good, because I'm glad there aren't more songs like this. (I guess he didn't think that MAYBE the song was there LONG before 9/11, and even if it wasn't, we're not going to change our opinions to suit people like him who all of a sudden feel patriotic. Fuckheads.) "I think this band has listened to *a lot* of Dead Milkmen in their time. They've also heard the Dead Kennedys' "MTV Get off the Air." This was a shameless rip-off of both. Anyway, not a bad product. It was funny, sarcastic and wry, in a tongue-in-cheek way. Can't really hear the lyrics except for the chorus. The production is quite crappy, but I suspect that was intended." (We don't really agree that it was a rip-off, it was purely an original work.) "tv party???? who know's...need bass pumped up...but really good old school" "This is hard to hear and very peculiar. I don't know if you'll make it to MTV because Carson probably hates you. I don't though. This sounds like sex pistols, but when they are drunk and very, very tired. The production could use some help, in particular the balance of the guitars. it's a little out of wack. Anyway, Punk Rock, Anarchy, Down with the royals and such." (The Kansas City Royals? What have they ever done to him or her?) "absolutely brilliant! 5 stars!" (I think there's sarcasm there, but oh well.) "Now this is REAL PUNK ROCK! You guys rock!!!! I don't give 5's to too many bands on Garagebands (too many blinks out there calling themselves punk), but you guys wail! If your ever in town, look us up at http://www.thedrones.net" (I like those people. The Drones are a good band too. Check them out!) "I enjoyed this song, although I thought it was too short, and would've loved to hear more. Your singer sings with enthusiasm and energy, which is rare, and you have a very talented drummer." (We agree!) "Snotty fuck you punkers. Kinda short, you got the point accross though. I fuckin' like the attitude. Didn't get a chance to really listen to it." (Too bad, eh?) "great sound, great beat. i think you may have gone a little overboard with the "your phone is off the hook" sound. just the same, it adds a great touch. the vocals could use a little work though..." (BUT WE LOVE OUR PHONE!) "or to say the most... it's creative but it's not very good. the guitar riffs are kinda interesting" (Unlike this review, eh?) "Annoying. annoying gutars, annoying vocals and annoying sounds in the background." (They don't like originality, nor do they know many words other than annoying, eh?) "i think much more can be done with the concept other than the off the hook sound, nobody really wants to hear it, there is a reason why they hang up the phone. and the lyrics aren't very original or unexpected" (Well, at least this person knows words other than "annoying.") "I dig the bluesy bass ling. It's a nice jazzy progression. The song crescendos well and also builds up in energy. I like the creativeness of this song, it's a sort of fusion of punk, jazz, and rock...I think you guys sound somewhat like a mix between Cake and the Strokes" "MUSIC IS A LITTLE CLASH,[BASS SOUND], LITTLE REAGEAISH TOO, GOOD FOR LOW FI JAM, SOUND LIKE A BAND ON WEST COAST VANCOUVER~LITTLE BROS ~THE CLINIC AND ANOTHER BAND FROM LONDON, ON." "Vocals are off key a lot. Recording quality is poor. Sounds like a Dead Kennedy's influence. Where's the chorus?" "This is Cool!! Tom Waits with a punk band. Sounds like a cross between Tom Waits and The Reverend Horton Heat. Bass is little sloppy." "this sounds really old. i like it. it sounds goofy and the vibe is fun. the recording sucks, but fuck it. it's supposed to." "Okay THE CLASH. The production is crap and the vocals annoy me. Sorry" "this reminds me of something i would hear in the 1980's. i like the vocals, they remind me of the b-52's or something. i also think the panning o the guitars in the beginning is pretty cool. the guitars were good. everything needs to get a little tighter rhythm wise. the lyrics were funny. fun song." "Short but sweet song, keep having fun with it, it will keep you mostly sane." "Well, I have to say I liked your vocalist with his David Byrne style of delivery." (HA! SOMEONE LIKES THE VOCALS!) "B52's b@stard children?" "The phone thing is annoying...Sounds like a Tom Green gag. Or perhaps the B52's punk offspring...I have to admint it's kind of funny though..." "Gang Of Four, Wire, What was the band that reformed as New Order, Bauhaus? Anyways, definitely cool stuff. Didn't hear much of a melody, but hey, does it need one?" "1. Lyrics - Pretty Nutty 2. Melody - Very Catchy and groovey 3. Who do you sound like ????? Probably just yourselves." "Sort of reminds me of the Circle Jerks a little (I am not sure why). The guitar work is pretty cool and the vocals do the job. I like the lyrics. Melody is OK but nothing too great. I like the busy signal feel." "This is kind of cool. I enjoy the busy signal like guitar or is that a phone itself. Well, as I hear the lyrics I guess that was your intention all along. i think the guitar soloing was good but I'm not sure if it fits this type of song. The bass sound could have been better as well. But I like the overall sound as it seems your intention is to sound like Jon Spencer. The lyrics were about hanging up the phone so I'm not sure what to say about that. I like the garage sound though...." "At first glance I was reminded of The Fall, but Mark E. Smith writes better lyrics, Ugly Mugs springs to mind, just as Raggende Manne. The lyrics are a bit sparse, the EQ on the vocals could have been much better. I like this sort of wild guitar going on in the background." "lyrics: childish.. melody: where..? who do you sound like: jad fair.. cute though.. i'll give it that.."
