*** Some fruitless dreamer on you tube (username: chunkoftunk) in response to one of our live videos: "I wish i was there so i could of punched that faggot ass singer in the face and knock his teeth out. What the fuck is this shit?"
***The Abi Yoyos, a San Francisco Bay punk rock act, have released a full length album entitled Mill Valley. It contains several topical songs including: Black and Yellow, about police brutality and Donovan Jackson, Quagmire, an observation of the Iraq War and Nayirah a love song written through the eyes of America's "civilized" soldier who falls for a PR ploy disguised as a damsel (Nayirah) and tarnishes his own image. -Centre For Political Song
