When it comes to punk rock, the fine city of Cleveland has built a reputation for producing the miserable, scabby and degenerate. Bands like MXPX or Beach Slang don't come from places like Cleveland. The mistake on the lake deals only with obnoxious and ugly bands like the Darvocets, Inmates, Wetbrain and Gordon Solie Motherfuckers. Bands like Rubber Mate.Following last year's 'Rub Em Al'l 7' on local label Saucepan, the thugs are now spreading their wings with a release on Florida's Total Punk and are about to head out on tour with fellow degenerates in Atlanta's NAG.Listen to some of their raw dribble/drivel on the track "Cha Boi" that sounds something like if half of Lumpy and the Dumpers wanted to sound like GISM.
