Just did a search, saw that there wasn't a poll on the site.
They're interesting, for me they're sort of straddling the crap/ not crap territory - a lot of their songs crash and burn, a lot of them are totally awesome. The lead singer seems like a bit of a prat, but also sort of funny.

What say y'all?

I like Clockcleaner. I've only heard a couple of their songs, but is good. The album cover reminds me of the Loraxx album of similar design.

The basement kids here in Milwaukee lose their shit over them, thus when i finally saw them i thought they were WAY overhyped. Passable, yet standard, hardcore punk drenched in digital delay and strobe lights to make it sound different.

Crap, high waffles because i went in with expectations too high and maybe i'll like them next time i see them.

"Why Is John Sharkey Gay?" Truly a question for the ages...

I met these guys before I heard a lick of their music, and really took a shine to them.

Now I get offensive text messages from their lead singer at 4 in the morning...

also, gave them a tour of the studio and this is the thanks i get.

These guys are out of order.

It's Greg's chair too.

Well, the article is in Vice, which I would actually consider crappier than that by default.

I can't get enough of Babylon Rules lately.

These guys are considered hardcore? I guess it's not my father's hardcore...

Me too! Haven't taken it out of my stereo for about a week now.
I don't think they're hardcore but they're definitely from the hardcore scene. the lead singer has said that the cro-mags' 'age of quarrel' is his favorite album ever.
