Why they might be annoying:

    Two members came from the unsuccessful 'Clowns Of Death' (Holland & Noodles).
    They practiced in Kriesel's parents house.
    They self-released their first album and barely got rid of 1,000 copies.
    When their popularity grew they abandoned Nemesis records for Epitaph Records. When they got big they dumped Epitaph for Columbia Records.
    Holland said: 'As we got bigger and the label got bigger, I kept hearing rumors that management wanted to sell (Epitaph). At that point, we were, like, 90% of the label's sales. I felt like we were being sold off, like a...commodity. It's like, whether we wanted to or not, we were gonna be on a major label (1992).'

Why they might not be annoying:

    They began as an indie band with a cult following.
    Noodles was stabbed during an anti-nuke concert.
    Kriesel has a degree in finance, Welty has a degree in electronics and Holland a doctorate in molecular biology.
    Holland co-founded F.S.U. a groupt that promotes economic justice (1997).
