Fifteen released their first record in 1991 on Lookout records. It was singer/guitarist Jeff Ott's vision to create music that didn't just rock, but had something important to say as well. After four records on Lookout, two on Grass Records, three on Sub City Records, and three more on indefinite self-published labels, Fifteen were viewed as the leaders in the political-punk music scene. They tackle such burning issues as homelessness, drug abuse, needle exchange, environmental destruction and the government's use of counterintelligence measures to violate activist's civil rights. Fifteen first broke up in 1996 after the self-released "extra medium kickball star."
They reformed in 1998 and released Hush and Survivor then disbanded 2000 with Jeff Ott stating that the anti-commercial DIY ethics of punk rock made it too expensive for him to have a band while raising a family.
The band had a total of fifteen members during its existence: Jeff Ott, Jack Curran, Mikey Mischief, Mark Moreno, Jean Repetto, Lucky Dog, Chris Flanagan, John Ogle, Jessie Wickman, Joe Cable, John Quintos, Scott Pierce, Jim Prior, Lisa D. and Vanessa Bain.

Fifteen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it will shower us again
I wish there was somethin' I could have done
To keep the love I had for you
Fifteen is lookin' for some answers she says, she'll risk it all to find the truth
But in the long run she's got nothin' to lose, only her dreams can come true
So I send her on her way she hesitates, not too sure it's the right thing to do
She wants to compare me to the others, but our love won't carry through
She just turns her back on the past, spreads her wings she's free at last
Fifteen is lookin' for some answers she says, she'll risk it all to find the truth
But in the long run she's got nothin' to lose, only her dreams can come true
Free at Last.
