Libby Cudmore: I found it, friends. The worst band ever, made up of dudes who were kicked out of other bands for not getting vaccinated.

I found it, friends. The worst band ever, made up of dudes who were kicked out of other bands for not getting vaccinated.

Imagine having to join The Defiant because you're too much of a piece of shit to be in Smash Mouth. SMASH MOUTH.

The Defiant formed in 2023, which means Greg Camp watched Steve Hartwell melt down & throw a drunken n*zi salute & said "hold my bowling shirt"

“Defiant” would be protesting the Chinese govt in Hong Kong. Refusing to get the jab just makes you an asshole.

I am a little confused - it appears Camp last played with Smash Mouth in 2009?

Even better. Imagine being Parada, in MULTIPLATINUM The Offspring who still has their songs on the radio and tour, Dexter Holland is a literal microbiologist who worked on one of the treatments and you tell him "Nah, that shit's fake news". Total idiot. Also ain't this Tim Pool's backing band?

I was morbidly curious and listened to their music a few months ago. The blandest imaginable rock music

I guess they don't believe ANYTHING should be catchy. Get it? Cause you can catch a virus?

Look, No, I've got nothing

I saw Smash Mouth open for U2 on either the PopMart or Elevation tour.

I saw pop mart but I don't remember an opener at all... so it definitely could have been smash mouth

Parada seems like the poster boy. Imagine being an antivaxxer in a band where the front man has an actual doctorate in molecular biology, and you're the "I'm doing my own research" guy.

"Bring people together to spread a message of plague, chronic fatigue, heart problems & death, all while they listen to the worst music ever known to the planet"

Dexters thesis was on predicting ways HIV could mutate to spread faster! Like, Im guessing he’s into the weeds enough where HIV and Flu are basically different fields but … c’mon dude

Do you think Dexter ever tried to talk to him about it

If it's anything like the ones I've been exposed to, he probably spent more time trying to talk about it to Dexter.

Oh that would drive me up the wall

Super group is quite a stretch

Super in terms of spreader

I'd agree but that implies they're playing to a crowd instead of a handful of divorced dads in checkered Vans standing around the Homestay Motel Bar & Grille because their ex & her new husband Steve took the kids to Six Flags this weekend.

You have painted the perfect picture, 10/10, no notes

You missed out the CaberFucks rusting quietly in the motel parking lot while their extremely divorced owners try desperately to be enthusiastic about the blandest shit that ever insulted anyone's eardrums.

Beat me to it. I came here to say this.

Pooper group?

The only Defiant I acknowledge. 😅

like the offspring even has at least one phd dude he could have talked to

Not only that, said PhD Dude WROTE AN ACADEMIC PAPER that was cited a lot during the development of the first vaccines. It's like being a flat-earther, and you're in a band with Neil Armstrong.

Buzz Aldrin knew how to deal with asshole conspiracy theorists.

hahaha right

I think the PHD dude was the reason he got fired.

right, but I mean he could have, like, listened to him instead

I ran into similar myself. Dad decided his 2 engineering degrees meant he knew more about COVID than his molecular biologist son-in-law who's worked for 30 years at one of the centers that ended up on the forefront of COVID research. Some people just can't admit they're wrong.

Also the whole thing where people (*especially* engineers) think being smart about and adept at one thing means they’re equally smart and adept at all things. Never mind that engineers tend to be right wingers.

So a bunch of washed up, angry dudes leave their bubble gum wanna-be punk bands to form a new, shittier than before band? How many more fucking posers must we endure???

Nah Devils Night Out was excellent Great show in City Gardens in Trenton from those guys. Doesn’t change the sadness I have

MMB’s were one of the best catchy riff slingin, trombone backed, pop/ska bands of their generation. Hardly punk

I see your MMB and raise you the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, one of the most misunderstood bands of the era. youtu.be/_1PmWoMAFEE?...

(Although I do think "Noise Brigade" is a BANGER)

I’m a fan of every version of Drunks and Children

Now you've done it. Once Libby starts talking CPD we'll be here all night.

Did someone mention the Daddies in here???

Talk about versatile

Did you choose this little ditty in particular because you know it was about me?

Heh heh heh

If you were a teenager in New England in the 90s, the MMBs meant a lot, they were a mainstay of cheap all ages shows, and they espoused a lot of progressive politics at a time that was not so common It is a huge bummer to see what Dicky has become

Well there’s a massive difference between Devils Njght Out and 1992 Tones and Let’s Face It 👍and 1996

No argument there. I don’t mean to come off as some kinda douchy punk purist. It just annoys me that every Green Day hit machine with purple haired bass players proclaims themselves ‘punk’

I was very upset when I learned I missed being able to see Green Day play the Euc in June 1992. I didn’t arrive there until August. I was upset about this in 1993. www.cleveland.com/entertainmen...

The night Green Day played for $100 and other Euclid Tavern stories by Cleveland artist Derek Hesswww.cleveland.com Cleveland artist Derek Hess remembers the Euclid Tavern -- the circa-1909 institution that launched his career and hosted six years of wild shows from 1989 to 1995.

Street Dogs got some very legit punk anthems and made some great Iraq War protest songs. youtu.be/3SUznfrDSUA?...
