Formed spontaneously in 1995 with the composition of the now classic "Hall's Way." Throughout the years, the band has produced such diverse cult hits as "J.C. (Jesus Commercialization)" and "Grey Idol" but the level of relative crappiness has remained the same. Come for the teen angst ("Garage Number 74"), stay for the heavy-handed political messages ("Jenna").

Story behind the song

Inspired by Teenage Wasteland by Donna Gaines

Lyrics

I was out late last night,
Last night was every night,
So I think I'm gonna stay in bed.

High school was a bore to me,
Putting it behind I earned equivalency,
Got up at two to go to work.

Over soggy cereal I smoke and hack,
While my worker's-comp step-dad is on my back,
I think I've had enough today.

Out at midnight from the evening shift,
Driving carefully up by the cliffs,
Where my friend's life fell away.

Pick up friends for a trip through town,
No destination but to fuck around,
And to find ourselves a length of hose...

We're all sick, we're all down, we're all out,
And with the drugs we're going down that route,
Who'd miss four burnouts anyway?

So we drive to
Garage #74
For the times you don't know you're adored
It's where the kids can go today,
The only place to get away.

And we park in 
Garage #74
What else can you do when you're bored?
When your brain has broken down,
And your solace is sought under ground.

And we die in 
Garage #74
I swear that none of us could take anymore
Everyone pushing us away
But now we're out of that place.
