Yeah, it's gotta be a boon for bands to play with Bill Stevenson and then claim Black Flag/Descendents/ALL/Only Crime.

Lyric stolen from The Copyrights. That's right, I said it.

And thus a Copyright(s) Infringement. Yes, I am quite aware that was stupid.

First time I ever heard that was Shawn Connery in The Untouchables.

The Mag Seven release two songs on this album under a Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 License...so you can remix it, sample, etc. in new works if you feel like it.

The title of the album actually comes from Bill and an Only Crime tour. Russ Rankin tried to get a pine tree air freshner to mask Bill's gas and so soon after its purchase the air freshner was sharpied with "Knife To A Gunfight".

No matter how much I think this is useless information, I just know I'm going to tell this story to someone sometime.
