Pissed Jeans is a perfect example of a success story that doesn't compromise their musical integrity. These dudes came from my area and wanted to create some noisy punk music about being miserable and made a band. They are still doing the same thing today that they were doing then, and they put out records on Sub Pop now. I believe this was their first vinyl release (put out by Parts Unknown), featuring two mid-paced dirgy stompers. The first time I saw this band it was the last show for this place called Jan's Room in Allentown, PA. I have never seen destruction like this before or anytime since. A room full of people just fucking up everything in sight. My friend Eric was flying around in a shopping cart, all the lights on the ceiling were shattered, walls were taken off, I could go on and on. It was pitch black most of the time too. The microphone stopped working maybe 15 minutes in, and the band just kept fucking jamming for so long. It was truly amazing...
