Punk rock from Texas with a different twist – kind of like the bass player was writing some of the songs and threw in some Don’t Know/Jane’s Addiction break-downs just to spice it up. At one time, someone in the band had shared mp3s of these songs online. But it was cool to hear the original cassette and see the full j-card. Apparently their stage show was Mike Knott-influenced, as they were known to throw food at each other and wrap band members up in cellophane. Anyways, a pretty cool band that only released two (or so) demos and should have gone further. Note that the cover lists the last two songs as if they are one blended song… but there is a good 6 seconds of silence between them (more than other songs).
