I know these guys have been around for a while (1996) but my old school ass just discovered them last year (yeah decade too late right and over exposed already? No!). I guess the reason is I’ve not been much a fan of disco punk or new wave, although there’s a few catchy tunes I can dig. This label however I’ve started to explore more and back dating to some good chunes… If I had one word to describe them, it’s eclectic which is how I exactly describe my music tastes. Click the label link and run the tunes in the background for a while, see if you discover something new:
