As long as you keep fucking your life up, we’ll provide the soundtrack.
Hated by the radio and hidden from parents like Playboys under mattress. The Altarboys don't give a fuck. They've been doing whatever they feel their whole lives and that's not gonna change because the wind starts blowing metal punk or whatever the flavor is this week. I could blow sunshine up your ass all day long about blah blah blah punk points and street cred or you could listen for yourself and make a decision.
Fuck this, I'm out. -- Rusty Shackleford
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. - Malcolm X
We played 72 shows in the last year, what did you do?
"There has only been one time that I can remember experiencing anything as orgasmic as The Altarboys. That was when I was temporarily dead back in the 90's. Yeah.....that was alright." ~ HeWhoCannotBeNamed of The Dwarves
Meet The Altarboys. Rippin', arrogant, irreverent, sing-along-and-get-drunk-with punk rock from Portland. This show will be TONS of fun.-Chico Beat
We write songs, we play songs, we drink, we hope someone will be sober enough to get us to the next place. Can we stay at your place? We got no where else to go.
"Until you grow up they send you to reform school, after you grow up they send you to the penitentiary" --Hemingway

Oscar Wilde once stated that “I always like to know everything about my new friends, and nothing about my old ones”. Of course there is a waspish humour within such a remark but it also focuses upon one of life’s great delights: New stuff. New stuff. Whether it’s a relationship or a pair of socks or a delicious, shimmering piece of Youreyeslie gorgeousness you can’t quite beat the chemical high that stems from beholding something new, surprising and unknown. The website has been updated with nothing but newness. So head to youreyeslie.com and take a wander through our cyber-Parthenon, exulting in the awe inspiring, humanity-affirming creations of the Youreyeslie design team. And then, once you’ve satiated your eyes make a couple of courageous clicks and take a little piece of the museum home with you.
