Excellent choice.


As you were.

they were from cleveland weren't they?

batreleaser 11.06.2008 01:35 PM

jesus christ for the last fucking time, yes, they were from and started in cleveland, but they moved to nyc as of 77 and became involved in the nyc punk scene, therefore they are more often considered a NYC band by fans.
