this was my jam. although it's probably a decade ago i listened to it.

also their album covers haven't aged well.

they're ex-botch.

i like them. they're ok. they seem kinda like a frat-rock band, but with more chops.

but i dont like their stupid song titles. never got into that kinda throwaway shit. song titles are important, so are lyrics. i had the same issue with botch

yeah, i think that stupid, long song titles (of otherwise serious songs) and band names thing were a trend among alternative rock and post-hardcore bands in the early 00s. haven't seen much of it in the past few years.

but yeah, i don't like that kind of song titles, or lazy ones that were obviously just spontaneous shit they came up with while jamming at the rehearsal space or something (my band has this problem sometimes).

My favorite, by far, is Absinthe Party in the Fly Honey Warehouse. It's amazing.

Although it's either home run or complete miss, I am also loving their Acoustics albums.

The guitar work in the chorus of Absinthe Party is incredible

I've only ever heard this album and I saw them live in concert without having done any homework on them, but I enjoyed them!

So is the bear named Minus?? Or is this the band after the bear left?

It's an oh-so-funny joke about "BJ and the Bear"
