    .. Their music - a vital piece of Chicago punk-rock history. members now form the bands Rise Against, The Lawrence Arms, The Honor System and The Killing Tree. .... By the time these boys crept onto the Chicago underground scene in the late 90's they had conquered their backyard of northwest suburbia in such a way that was, to say the least, impressive. Crowds of youngsters packed into various VFW's and American Legion halls, pumping their fists and singing every word to songs like "Mandatory Option" and all-time crowd favorite "Redemption." The energy was astounding. Their full-length cassette "Troy's Bucket" (1996) encountered a warm reception all around Chicago and sales warranted immediate re-duplication. More frequent shows in the city and modest nation-wide touring ensued. In 1997, the band released the 7-inch "Lost Voices..." on Static Station Recordings. By this time, the band's following had grown exponentially. In 2003, Will Not Clear Man records put out Baxter, a compilation of both of their official releases as well as several unreleased songs and demos. .. .. .. album available at... .. ...... ...... .. .. ..

    Baxters sound would perhaps be best labeled as post-hardcore, sometimes comparable to bands such as Fugazi, At The Drive-In, and Chicago's own Cap'n Jazz.
