Their live shows were noisy yellfests that often resulted in Gregg throwing something at somebody in the crowd and hurting them. But in a Funny Way! For, as violent and threatening as this ridiculous duo tried to be, at the end of the day, all they succeeded in doing was making us laugh

I remember him talking about back in the day he worked at a chemical plant, bottling chemicals all day. He and his co workers would play the most abnormal annoying music the whole time just to fuck with themselves. Gregg is the man.

I love this song. It's a little dark and it's got of an edgy, biting wit to it. It's a perfect mellow punk style song. MUCH better than Dekkar. I give it five bags of popcorn 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 and a guitar so you can also make better music than Dekkar! 🎸

Too bad the YouTube commentary is mostly pro-Tim.
Tim is just a half-ass showman whom autistically plasters variants of his surname on everything and throws a tantrum when his fellow friends are doing well.

@halyomorpha

Yuri Johnson No problem. Most of those records are sadly expensive and very hard to find, so I'd figure I'd help out by transferring the copies I got to here like I did with TFUL282's hard to find material. The only caveat is that I won't upload things that are being actively sold by active labels or that damage copyright (for obvious reasons lol) or if the artist would ask me to take them down which I would do. The reason why I upload them is archival, really: labels like Amarillo have been dead for years (unfortunately) so I really want to preserve a lot of the music from being lost to time. For lack of a less dramatic sentence.

Hopefully I can be able to procure the rest of the Tribute Records "collection", but those are like $150 a pop or more. I guess that's what happens when you're a tax scam label and you never actually release the albums lol

It's off an album called "Alive in the Sky" by Les Hughey. The original was on YouTube a few years ago but evidently not anymore. I'll let you know if i find it! If I do I'll probably reupload it on my channel.

Punk overdoes distortion sludge. It's fine once a while, but when every song on every album is straight up grating noise and lack of rhythm, it gets annoying.
And let's not forget about the lyrics. It's not unlike gangster rap, yet they're hailed as "ahead of it's time."
