...punk rock band. It’s just when we all put ourselves together it’s what comes out,” said Baker. To the delight of onlookers, it comes out in gleeful abundance. From their first song to their final perfectly executed unison jump, Riddlin?? Kids aim to please and generate raucous fun for all. These Texans certainly live up to their psycho-stimulant drug influenced name...
