Combining a furious polemic with incendiary tunes, the New York based group is the brainchild of former Brothers Keeper vocalist Mike Ski, equal parts Noam Chomski, Guns N¹ Roses, Refused & Manic Street Preachers. In other words, a Molotov cocktail of anthems that rail against American right wing thinking, apathy and boredom. The band actively champion NOFX front man Fat Mike¹s political website www.punkvoter.com
