Crucial Youth Straight and Loud! EP

They exaggerated straight edge to an absurd extreme, and it’s amazing how many people took them seriously, both pro and con. With songs against littering, in favor of rewinding video cassettes, and a “positive dental outlook”, all done in imitation of Ian, Kevin, Pat and Ray, you’ve gotta lighten up. Lots of fun.

Fanous Cheezcake Easy Answers & Simple Slogans EP

Imagine Kevin Seconds singing over a high-velocity thrash backdrop, with periodic lead breaks interrupting the proceedings, and you have a rough approximation of FANOUS CHEEZCAKE. Production is very basic, the songs fairly typical of the genre.
