You know me... I'm more into the crusty stuff but ya, they were always on the playlists at parties/shows/etc.
They had some interesting and complex turn arounds though. Good songwriters and musicians. I've had "Ever Fallen In Love" stuck in my head since I read the news and the timing/enunciation of the verse keeps tripping me up.
Anyhoo, hoist one for proto pop punk man.
Cheers.
