Tabris Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Now, now, let us relieve ourselves of Sin Aura's tawdriness, and venture towards actual punk rockers. I won't be surprised if you haven't heard of them (and just as well - they disbanded 4 years ago), but hell. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewho Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 most underrated band ever. they got looked at as one of the most important riot grrrls group. they should have been looked as one of the most important punk groups period. I've never got to see them live, but I was lucky enough to briefly meet Carrie, their guitarist. EDIT: I'm surprised that nobody has heard of this band, and its kind of sad.

Tabris Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 ... how about me? + cries + Well, it's to be expected. They operated in an independent label, never were too popular or radio-friendly, and disbanded four years ago, now. Who'd like them but those who seek excellence?

Thewho Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 what's your favorite song by them? there's alot of them I like. I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone, Youth Decay, Little Babies, Start Together, Words and Guitar... alot of their songs are great. the band could combine heavy post/punk rock with alot of pop sensibilities. have you seen the video for [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kku7zb4unog]You're No Rock N Roll Fun[/url]? it's a great pop song, but it still has that "edge" to satisfy the hard head punk fan. (that quirky melody, if you will). and they look super cute in the video. I guess is better that not alot of people know about them, It makes the music something we can value and treasure.

Tabris Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Oooooooh, dear. Looks like a world music addict and a New Waver know of them. Tsk tsk. Just one - Dig Me Out. Sometimes, when I'm pissed off mighty and I'm listenin' to Suicidal Tendencies' You Can't Bring Me Down, I usually change the parting lyrics to: CAN YOU DIG ME OUT?CAN YOU DIG ME OUT?CAN YOU DIG ME OUT? A statement of the '90s, as well as the essential Sleater-Kinney. Anyhow, ye know where their name came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewho Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I read somewhere the band name was named after a road in Lacey, Washington. I'm not sure how true that is though, because the band was based on (to my understanding) in Portland, Oregon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
