I just downloaded a couple of songs by these guys and i like them. I thought they'd be like Weezer or someone like that but they sound more like Quicksand.

THIRD TEIR EMO/INDIE BAND THAT SEEMED TO BE PERPETUAL OPENERS FOR ANY BAND PLAYING NYC IN THE MID 90'S.

THEY NEVER LIVED UP TO THEIR BAND NAME.

SHAMEFUL.

Indeed. Any band that gets their name from a Misfits `choon ("Bullet") is okay in my book. Too bad their music is s'damn dull.

Swing Kids 7", "red medicine" by Fugazi, Dystopia 12", Spazz 7"s, "hello bastards" by Lifetime, the Chisel 7" with "little gidding" on it, anything on Troubleman Unlimited and Texas Is The Reason 7" = hardcore in '95.

The ep rules, one of the split 7"s is great, the other split 7" was eh, the album is shitty and they were decent live for a bunch of fluffed up posers.

I always thought they were far closer to Quicksand than all the other ghey Sunny Day Real Estate style bands.

I think I used to buy everything on Revelation Records when this came out.

The EP they released before this album showed a lot of promise, with "If it's here When We Get Back, It's Ours" being the standout track. The full album, while having a few bright spots, never quite lived up to my expectations from the EP.

Yeah, search the EP, which is very good, skip the rest.
