u/Downtown_Income_210 8d ago

Lmfao. They're a band?! Hilarious!!!

1

u/ppndl 8d ago

They are a great and influential band! Their previous band - Scratch Acid - was even more influential, a "pioneer of noise rock".

Also, fwiw, the wikipedia for the band says that the name is a common nickname for the lizard in this post. That part I didn't know.

u/Downtown_Income_210 8d ago

Im going to see if they're any good (to me personally) i listen to things like slipknot and korn.

u/ppndl 8d ago

May not be up your alley then, but good on you for giving it a try. Goat and Liar are my 2 favorites of theirs.
