The band where the drummer looks like a bass player, the guitarist looks like a drummer, and the bass player looks like a guitarist

Old mate taking the kid out for the bike ride on a Saturday arvo seems to be in strife

[@CRFLAus]

Nanny state Victoria. Cops are mindless robots harassing good people while home invaders walk free from court.

[@gavinyoung7085]

Revenue raising. Probably thought he needed a fine, but couldn't quite figure out what to fine him for.

[@vindiesel3066]

Aussie cops are shit. All they do is harass cunts that are minding their own business.

[@Curs0r]

That's the most Aussie sentence I've read in weeks. Good on ya.

[@mattm3400]

They are probably trying to establish if they are actually his children and he’s not just noncing them off

[@blackcorp0001]

The Chats are going to be huge ... these boys have a lot of talent

[@leishayoung4124]

I don't know that they are hugely talented tbh, they are punk rockers, and punk was NEVER about talent, it was about being yourself.
Their songs are simple-as-shit, but 'simple' does not mean 'shit'.

[@otumoetaipat]

@@leishayoung4124 It takes a lot of talent to write a good song; they write a lot of good songs.

Terrible interviewer

[@leishayoung4124]

Ahhh, come on guys, don't create a political song and then say "yuh, we just, like, don't want to enter into politics, we just, like, wanna, like, play music".
By its very nature your music is poli-i-cooool, so embrace it and raise some hell. That's what we're all craving!! Grrrrrr!

[@streamtrollmike5348]

That song was created as a joke. Not everything needs to have some bullshit political slant. Thats why I respect these guys.
If you want politics in your songs, there's already tons to choose from.
