About Me

It’s all their fault! ---- I was perfectly happy with my god, my state, and my society, and they fucked it up!
----
I never question anything at all, but something about the dry, stupid, unpoetic way these songs say what’s been in the back of my mind for so long makes me wonder if I can go to work tomorrow, or ever talk to my racist parents again.How can I take my kids off to church anymore with all these questions swirling in my mind?
----
Why couldn’t I just have ignored it and moved on to the next band?
----
I think I should talk to a lawyer about this.
-----
Racism, your boss exploiting you, a civilization in decline, the god that won’t answer your prayers...
-----
To heck with all that, bubby! There’s them who split everyone into two categories and then there’s the rest of us. It’s the class war stupid... Let’s just not have them anymore... classes I mean.
-----
Hold on Mr. Maivery, you mean to tell me my church and my boss are taking advantage of me? SUCK! I don’t like THAT.
-----
These songs reflect growing up in America... Alabama... with idiot, racist Fundamentalist bigots for family and co-workers, who don’t seem to care they are slaving their lives away for the people they admire, and even want to emulate, their owners. Wake up. It’ll never happen, you won’t get rich, and you will not be secure.
suckers.

You can contact us if you want a really swell CD we did ourselves, with packaging, art collaboration, disc printing and more by Strychnine Sue. I’ll have you send us $10 and I’ll send you a CD, with a little Paper sticker for the first how ever many until they are gone.
So don’t delay... Spend your lunch money on this one day, and though your belly will be empty you’ll have less money, so that’s something. But hey, if you live in Birmingham you can come to the Fountain at Five Points South any Sunday at about a quarter ’til 3 and have some free, hot vegetarian food. We will eagerly await any orders and happily rush the CD to you and take care of the shipping for that price.

OR just send us some hate mail, that’s fine. We’ll pretend we’re in a scary movie only to realize it’s not fake. woohoo!

The ideas expressed by the singers are not necessarily those of the gutarist and the drummer on this CD, in fact we have strong disagreements on some things. Everybody has a right to their own opinions. Tommy Hellfingers, our guitarist is a big lefty, and Fred the drummer is pretty much A-political.Hear an interview on Freak Radio Santa Cruz’s "Pop Defect Radio" with host Skidmark Bob http://popdefectradio.blogspot.com/, and the Podcast called "Bastard Brood of Che" by Dickie Richards, who uses our music for the show. http://talkwarrior.com/
James at Media Monarchy was kind enough to play one of our songs as well, on his killer podcast Media Monarchy. Big THANKS to all.And more thanks to wizard Bullet Bob who recorded us at GINTOWN SOUND (and wife Crystal for sharing miracle zucchini pizza!), Dickie Richards for using our songs on Bastard Brood Of Che podcast, Skidmark Bob of Freak Radio Santa Cruz for interview and his own work with a much more militant chapter of Food Not Bombs... Seriously check out Pop Defect radio and his other work - great shit, Strychnine Sue Gerth for art and CD’s, and Salem Kapsaski for support and web mastery. ..
