Sure, they may not be as bad as others, but they are still pretty lame.

Dr Frank made it fun by twisting words around and what other band has used "to, too, & two" in one line of a song + Semi -OK really puts things into focus. All I am saying, is give MTX a chance.

I had no idea that MXPX changed the lyrics! I soured on them completely after going to see them somewhere in Jenison and hearing the people who owned the club talk about how as good Christians we wouldn't mosh and/or dance near people of the opposite sex. Obviously problematic on so many different levels! Haha.. I had no idea that MXPX changed the lyrics!

Scott: I agree that Grand Rapids was crazy with the ska and pop-punk. It sadly took me what seemed like years to realize that there was punk that didn't fall into these genres. Mustard Plug certainly did their part to prop this up and I also think the Midwest generally was a hub for ska-core. There were so many ska-core bands that would play here frequently. Admin (?): I had a similar experience with FIFTEEN. I bought "The Choice of a New Generation" on a whim because someone said it sounded like one of my favorite bands (THE BROADWAYS) and it really blew me away and challenged me to move in a more positive direction.

So I took it home and i fucking hated it. GG ALLIN had me convinced to kill everything in my path. It took a few years but FIFTEEN finally did change my life.
