Total DIY independence: relentlessly touring the country in an unheated econoline van, screenprinting our own flyers, and rejecting commercial rock radio.

Maintaining Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) in the face of spiritual chaos; merging precision jazz-fusion chops with blistering 200+ BPM hardcore and authentic deep roots dub reggae.

Music is not a commodity, and shows must be accessible to everyone regardless of age. Five dollars at the door, hand-folded record sleeves, and zero tolerance for violence or gatekeeping.

Possessed to skate from Ocean Front Walk pool coping to the circle pit. Flipping up our Venice caps, speeding up the rhythm section, and screaming truth against suburban alienation.

Fourteen songs in fifteen minutes. Blistering South Bay skate-pit velocity, biting suburban satire, and the iconic Skank Man tearing across the stage floor.

Keep the spirit of 924 Gilman alive: volunteer collective ethics, street level storytelling, fierce dual vocals, and lightning bass solos that honor our working-class roots.
