These skate punk veterans are often included in late night drunken debates about most underrated punk bands (at least in our circles…what kinda losers are you runnin’ with?). With witty writing and next level musicality, this tremendous trio has consistently been pumping out high quality tunes for two decades while never flying too high on the punk rock radars outside of their SoCal scene. Drummer/Co-Vocalist David Green is amazing to watch live as he seamlessly weaves intricate drum fills behind his gravelly, snotty vocals (anyone else wanna see a drumming/singing battle to the death between David and Matt Caskitt?). The trio’s newest album The Forest was just released earlier this month and there’s not a single dud amongst the twelve tracks. If you haven’t listened to it, you’re missing out. So stream it below (even if you have listened to it, stream it again….you know you wanna) and while you’re at it, go ahead and write it in on your potential Albums of the Year Lists!
