An American punk band originally forming in 1982 by Joe King (a.k.a. Joe Queer). Inspired in large part by the Beach Boys and The Ramones, the band originally only stayed together a short time and broke up in 1984. Then, with inspiration still pumping, Joe re-assembled with new members in 1990 and are together (and still touring) today. Current line up includes Joe King (a.k.a. Joe Queer) on vocals, Dangerous Dave on guitar, Ben Vermin on bass, and Matt Drastic on drums. They, as of May 2007, have released 17 LPs, 16 EPs, 6 Splits, and 31 Compilations.
