Overview: Hard punk rock derived from earlier incarnation of the band from the late 70s. Lots of angst, driving impulse, and darkness. A touch of political/religious counter-culture seeps in now and then (tracks Patriotic American and Death Blow). Band resurrected in 2016 by Don Bolles (Germs/Ariel Pink), Dan Clark (Feederz/Victory Acres), Doug Clark (Mighty Sphincter), and Cris Kirkwood (Meat Puppets).

Influences/similar bands: Sex Pistols, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Buzzcocks.
