San-Francisco surf-punk, featuring members of Ecoli. Released their self-titled LP on Tankcrimes in March of last year, and followed with an equally awesome 7". Fast, fun, hardcore punk, with that great mid-eighties punk (i.e. Adolescents/if Dischord records were based in California) sound, that is really hard not to get into. They're also a little Suicidal Tendencies-esque with the skate references. I think the best moments I've heard are "Violence" from their LP, and also a little more than halfway through "Problems" - with the seagulls clip, which really just reinforces the great surf sound that's a blast to listen to. Also, "No Hope", the last track on Fractures, their 7" is a 7 minute song that certainly succeeds at keeping my attention, and I think making a punk song that long, without becoming repetitive, is not an easy feat. They're playing a show in D.C. on November 12th that I am going to try to attend. I imagine a band like this is probably at their best live! So, if you're in the area or whatever, check that out.
