Amazing Hen!

PaC (February 20, 2009)

How sweet the sound!

eazyd2 (February 20, 2009)

is this band any good?
also, maybe stating the obvious but canadians are way nicer than americans.

Jaydischord (February 20, 2009)

They are the shit live,really good...as for albums,the first three are my personal faves...'And no one else wanted to play'...'if you swear you'll catch no fish' and 'better than a stick in the eye'....all those albums came out in the mid-late 80's.'Something green and leafy this way comes' was good too.

If you represent Australians, then you all are a bunch of snotty assholes, so you're opinion really doesn't mean too much.

punk_rawk_show (February 20, 2009)

Not sure if thats meant to be a joke but

i think i speak for the world when i say

Australians > Americans

LinoleumMagazine (February 21, 2009)

Why can't we all just be equal man? Jeez. I have nothing against Australians actually.

badbrain (February 20, 2009)

I've never met a Canadian, but I agree with this comment

LinoleumMagazine (February 20, 2009)

C'mon. You must be joking, right? Canadians are fucking assholes. And they talk all stupid with their eh's and aboots and shit.

manincognito (February 20, 2009)

among the other albums listed, check out fyulba..great fuckin' album, and yes, insanley fun live..mr chi pig is nuts! as for the canadian remark..thank you. i'd like to think on an individual level, we are nicer..but group mentality can fuck things up for us as much as it can for americans, or anyone else...

punk_rawk_show (February 20, 2009)

Yeah ive just recently been getting into SNFU by Fyulaba

clamXtears (February 20, 2009)

I think they still have a player on snfu.com that streams about 10 songs that span their career. Check 'em oot, eh! If you like melodic skate punk, and strange, twisted humour, you'll like this band better than maple syrup.

Also, look out for a documentary soon becuase Chi Pig has been followed around by a guy with a camera for the past 2 years.

how bout that new green day song

MattRamone (February 20, 2009)

You mean the Queen cover?

shrapnel (February 20, 2009)

the Homecoming B-side?

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (February 20, 2009)

Todd the Rod aint happy.
Anyone here done a literature review before?

bassthoven (February 20, 2009)

why is todd not happy?

MattRamone (February 20, 2009)

Come to America! We care now!

shrapnel (February 20, 2009)

how's the cat?

MattRamone (February 20, 2009)

She stopped hissing at me every time I walked by and I stopped referring to her as "dogfood" so we're getting close to an understanding.

shrapnel (February 20, 2009)

that's beautiful

MattRamone (February 20, 2009)

She's about as cantankerous as I am. She took a swing at me about a week ago and I shrieked "FUCK YOU, FURBALL!" at her. We understand each other.

shrapnel (February 20, 2009)

one of mine used to be like that, well actually he still is, he bit the crap out of my ankle and then I scolded him really bad, but then later that night at around 2 a.m. he attacked me in the middle of my sleep and bit my nipple, so watch out

miniblindbandit (February 20, 2009)
