I’m drawn in by the authenticity of their early music, the pure emotion, and the sometimes enigmatic lyrics. Being a punk kid when I heard them, I was attracted to Isaac Brock’s raw vocals even though the music was in general much less aggressive than what I was typically listening to then.

Cowboy Dan
Alone Down There

Teeth Like God’s Shoeshine
