The band is originally from Pennsylvania, and was put together by lead singer Jimmy Pop. They pride themselves on being both immature and uncouth, but with an electric wall-o-sound that has prudently evolved since their band formed in 1991.
Their songs feature a lot of political and pop-culture satire, with hard rock roots and extensive vamping. Lead singer Jimmy Pop explains that it 'makes us feel better' to 'hurt everyone's feelings'. Columbia Records shared their comedy styling and released their first album 'Use Your Fingers' in 1995.
In 1998 their hit single 'Along Comes Mary' became the inaugural track to the stoner comedy Half-Baked. However, their true breakthrough came with their 2000 release of Hooray For Boobies. With infectious songs like 'Bad Touch' and the 'Ballad of Chasey Lain', they finally started drawing huge audiences and were able to tour Europe with their ever-growing fan base.
Their last album was Hefty Fine, released in 2005 and still continues to evolve their sound. This band was a huge inspiration for my musical endeavors, and I urge you to listen to them!
