Shortly after formation, Kirsten and Phil moved the band to Oakland, CA, then later to Los Angeles.
1991 to 1998 saw the band release three full length records, three seven inches, one live record and several compilation exclusive songs. In support of their output they extensively toured the United States, Mexico, Canada and Europe.
Penelope Spheeris approached the band in 1996 and as a result they are featured in her documentary film "The Decline of Western Civilization: Part III", for which Phil recorded his first soundtrack.
In 1998, just as they were about to embark on a national tour in support of their newest album, The Gut-Wringing Machine, the band came to an abrupt end when Phil died from complications arising from his chronic asthma. Five years past. Five years of mourning. Kirsten participated in other projects, but nothing satisfied her intense anger and frustration with world politics like Naked Aggression.
Thus, in 2003, in light of the second George Bush's Gulf War, Kirsten thought it fitting to reform the band in order to continue carrying on the message started over a decade ago under astoundingly similar geopolitical circumstances. Since the reformation Naked Aggression has toured the U.S., and just returned from Europe with a new split Lp with, Die Schwarzen Schaffe, on Compary Records. Currently they are working on songs for a new full-length album.

Out of Control
Naked Aggression Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I want,
What you want,
What you want.
What we want,
What we want More, more, more, more.
Out of control,
I want some more.
I must have it all.
The lyrics to Naked Aggression's song Out of Control depict the materialistic and consumeristic nature of modern society. The repeated phrase "What I want, What you want, What we want" highlights the self-serving mentality in which individuals are driven to acquire more possessions, regardless of the consequences. The phrase "I must have it all" further emphasizes the insatiable desire for more and more material goods, even if it means going out of control.
The lines "Buy me some more Out of control, I want some more" suggest an addiction to consumerism and the idea that buying more will bring happiness and fulfillment. The song title itself, "Out of Control," also speaks to the idea that society's pursuit of material possessions has spiraled out of control.
Overall, the lyrics of "Out of Control" offer a commentary on the damaging effects of unchecked consumerism and the need for individuals to reassess their values and priorities.
