"We just finished touring
Europe with Rancid, and it's been great every show. It was
like the perfect match-up for us: we were friends already,
we come from the same musical background, we all listen to
reggae and punk. Lars from Rancid produced our album. It's
called 'The Streets Of San Francisco'. The lyrics are a
little bitter, but not twisted. Bitter in a happy sort of
way. We all live right on Haight Street. There's lots of
bars and record stores there, and like a bazillion clubs in
the city. We must have played them all by now. We're making
something--you can't really call it a living! When you're
doing something you really want to do, it makes it a lot
easier. We're totally happy, we like touring, we like
recording, we like playing, and that's what we do. We're
just a straightforward punk band that got stuck with a bad
name!" They're way too modest. They play riffmongously
exhilarating melodic punk and they'll make you dance like an
idiot. -Melody Maker, 10/95
