What if, ten years after the release of Get Me Out Of My Van I Have No Key Phil there was a band from Jakarta who harnessed that energy and released a split with DICKHEAD? A band who played fast as fukk melodic hardcore that was filled with hooks upon hooks upon hooks (seriously, punk - check "No More Violence") but sounded like it was played by people who would waste you if you crossed them? I have good news for you....in 2001 THE SABOTAGE released a cassette titled Anarchy Still Alive! and it is all of these things and so much more. I mean...paradise can exist simultaneously on multiple planes, right?
And then there's the UK pub rock brilliance of the discordant "Police Attack" and I could go on (and on) but just listen. Please and thank you and also you're welcome.

This reminds me of when i was a teen trapped in the suburban wastelands of New Jersey, listening to The Casualties for the first time... only this is better than The Casualties. Thanks.
