Is that photo from their first show? Would be badass if it was.

Great band, I only discovered their discography a few years ago, but love their music, one of my top five "punk" bands.

T-shirt band with a dumb gimmick and a few decent tunes, nothing more. Singing "Rock and Roll High School" as adults is worse than Winger, and with less talent.

Most of the bands we discuss over here managed to write max 5 catchy tunes. Ramones wrote about 100 absolute bangers. You must be a special kind of stupid to call them overrated.

It's not, first show Joey played drums. Tommy was supposed to produce but wasn't happy with the drumming so he took over despite never having played before.

I barely listen anymore unless a new bootleg turns up but my favorite is always the Dee Dee songs on Subterranean Jungle. In The Park, Outsider and Time Bomb.

Overrated? In their time they were barely in the popular consciousness. Kinda funny how things change over time.
