I sat behind a kid named Pete in Social Studies class. I don’t even recall the name of the teacher. The ONLY things I remember about this class was that we were shown a very boring documentary about Gold Meir and that Pete wore a 999 shirt. I didn’t really care for Pete so I assumed 999 was a trash band cuz, how could he possibly like anything…y’know…good?

Well, once again, I’m the dummy. 

This is a super delicious power rock offering with mugfulls of snot and just enough punk to not be too pop and enough pop to not be too punk.
