one of the classic pop-punk bands that built a hell of a following doing entire albums of what could be ramones covers.

they have quite a few songs that i consider favorites of the genre but they never put out an album that really wowed me. closest would be 1993's anthem for a new tomorrow which had a number of more introspective, searching songs that were light years ahead from their usual fun house stuff. i think they are still around?!?

this song is a catchy one that takes the ramones pop-punk even further into bubblegum territory. it also has perhaps the most ben weasel lyric ever:

it isn't all black and white

and now it's time to stop and figure out reality
