Raised on a steady diet of NOFX, Penny Wise and Black Flag, this five-pack of volitile, wise-ass Huntington Beach punks have managed to retain a death grip on the roots that nutured them from the beginning. With a sound as blunt, brash and crass as anything you've heard on a Punk-O-Rama CD over the years, it's hard not to appreciate anti-political, testosterone-driven party lyrics like “it's been three weeks since I last got payed, I may be bored but I still get laid”. Nice.
On the heels of a recent CD release, these guys seems poised and ready to rock out all over Orange County with the promise of plenty reckless and wild times still ahead.
OC Weekly Who's in the band and who does what?
Wastey Face: Bradley Styles is on lead vocals, Harmonica, Kazzo, and guitar. Big A plays lead guitar, and handles background vocals. Chinchilla McFly plays drums and percussion as well as background vocals. Dirty Danchez plays Bass guitar and Lobsta switches between rhythm and lead guitar.
OCW: What motivated you to start the band?
WF: It might of been a case of Magnum 4O-Ozs, an eighteen-pack of beer, a few smokes, or maybe it was the desperate desire to jam.
OCW: Who are your biggest influences and why?
WF: We're
pretty much big fans of Bad Religion, NOFX, Descendants, DK, Nardcore,
FEAR, Adolescents, Pennywise, Murder City Devils, Black Flag,
Successful Failure(HB), RKL, and too many others to remember at the
moment…
OCW: What's the best thing that's happened to your band? What's the worst
WF: Our best time
together has been in the studio. Another best was playin' cash-box keep
away from Daryl, the door guy. The worst is when chicks don't show their
boobs when we play our live set.
OCW:There are millions of punk bands and solo artists creating music now. Why
should people listen to you?
WF: “Why should punks listen to us?” We have the biggest sack of balls on
this side of the Mississippi, and this sack is surrounded by soul!

I recently tried CBD gummies from this website https://www.cornbreadhemp.com/products/cbd-sleep-gummies as a replacement for the first time and was pleasantly surprised past the results. Initially skeptical, I found that it significantly helped with my anxiety and doze issues without any noticeable side effects. The fuel was easy to put to use, with nitid dosage instructions. It had a merciful, earthy liking that was not unpleasant. Within a week, I noticed a decided convalescence in my all-inclusive well-being, feeling more blas‚ and rested. I appreciate the unstudied technique to wellness CBD offers and plan to pursue using it.
