*bump*

I like these guys, they are funny guys. I credit them along with Descendents from getting me out of my 'classic rock' listening rut in high school.

Not Crap

I have How to Clean Everything, and based off of that I would say they're obnoxious, slightly more intellegint than NOFX punk, with a pretty generic sound. Although yeah, I did like that Ska Sucks song.

Huh... I already voted on this... I wonder what I voted..

If I hadn't, right now I would vote Not Crap 7

Though I never had Less Talk..., their progression as musicians from How To Clean... to Today's Empires... is admirable.

Yeah, they're a punk band, but they're out there with a message and they actually do know pretty well what they're talking about (which is more than can be said for bands like NOFX, who appear to hate bush just cause it's cool to hate bush).

Also, sentimental for being one the last punk bands I was into and helping build the bridge to "indie rock" for me.

"How to Clean Everything" is a great record. Overtly political music is always "heavy-handed", but theirs is done with enough humor and self-critique that it makes me smile, rather than cringe, as does, say, Bad Religion. "Less Talk" I don't like as much, but it's still good. Haven't heard anything since, but I'm still likely to throw on either of those two when GWB, the Fundamentalists, or the NRA, e.g., do something particularly insidious.

CRAAAAP. More intellegent than NOFX? I'm sure they think so.

Brilliant. Progressive, no fucking about, intelligent punk rock. I don't know how you could think that was crap. I could understand you not liking it though.

I would give ten NOFXs for Propagandhi. Not crap.

Bump.

Probably my favourite band 10 years ago. Intelligent and hilarious.

I loved I*Spy, but I thought Todays Empires... was really disappointing for the most part.

I finally got around to hearing their newest record, Potemkin City Limits. I guess it came out over a year ago. Fuck, they've come a long way - both as musicians and songwriters. I like this record a lot.

Not crap but with waffles. They sometimes come across as jumped up little tossers to me.

I like to party fucking hard, i like my rock and roll the same.

I've actually been listening to Potemkin and Today's Empires...Tomorrow's Ashes a whole bunch this week, and they're quite a bit better than I remembered. Totally NOT CRAP.
