Danger!
I heard this on a pop-punk radio show and was kind of blown away. Apparently these dudes did some highly respected 7"s and then dropped the album A Conscience Left To Struggle With Pockets Full of Rust (urg) in the 90s, somehow I missed that even though retro-punk was the only thing I rubbed myself off to in the mid 90s. Like Clinic or Dillinger Four (who they did a split with), apparently scenesters and critics said the 7"s were better blah blah, and then they did a second album for Victory Records. Anyway. I can't say the record is weak, but the "Danger" 7" is a monster track. Something about the highly affected vocals works — it's as if he's trying for some gravelly Jake Burns shit but doesn't want to actually yell. And yet it's not too stupid. ANYWAY. Spin this, it's hot, then go pick up Pockets of Constant Struggle or whatever it's called from a cut-out bin somwhere.
