Monkbuster roots? Primacy might be found in a Mad Drama EP, in Rancid’s covers of NOFX, somewhere in the realm that tenuously links ‘Meat is Murder’ with ‘The Queen is Dead’ or Talulah Gosh. Who the fuck cares? All we know is we want to melt your face. This is not a band that has 3-minute song intros with movie sound-clips from some stupid kitchen-sink drama or other foreign film you haven’t heard of. It isn’t a band that sets the amp to 3 because we need to ensure perfect texture in the mix. It’s a band that has a button installed on each of our amps entitled “ALERT THE HORDE” that basically lights our amp tubes on fire with enough heat to fancifully fry a turkey at the nearest Safeway (wherever that may be). We want the shoe-gazers, wind-millers, and Bette-Midlers of the world to enjoy our post-post-ironic music and also be reminded that you can enjoy a concert that lasts 20 minutes or less.
