...they're as much rock as post-. While they've progressively shed the structures of the traditional rock song, they don't abandon the primal guitar/bass/drums combination, and they've been influenced as much by the Smiths and the Pixies as by My Bloody Valentine. Their newest release presents four new compositions and two tracks previously released on the import-only No Education = No Future (F**k the Curfew).

Kinkel's defense lawyers initially argued that their client was a paranoid schizophrenic who was driven by hallucinations to kill, but the insanity plea was dropped in favor of a 25-year sentence for the four murders.
