More agreeance. Though, they did have a shot with a major deal, got quite a bit of radio play in Chicago but didn't catch on. They were promply dumped by the major. Good music, though, and really cool guys.

I really cant believe all of you - this is total OOT failure.
Clearly the only answer is Motorhead.

In the early 90s Steve Earle was about to sign a multi-million-dollar record deal. He was going to be Bruce Springsteen. He had his ticket to New York to go sign the deal, and he made it all the way to the airport. Then he turned around and sold his ticket for $100 and went and bought some crack. He didn't write a song for four years. He called it his "vacation in the ghetto."

Thrice.

I loved how their one song 'to what end', was actually about a philosophic issue I have been dealing with for years (that of the demoralizing nature of a deterministic viewpoint).

"To what end do we
proceed so boldly
if what we are is
chemical reactions"
