The opener was likely Teenage Bottlerocket, and they're well worth checking out for Ramones/Queers style punk.

Twin Cities has a great scene, too - only spot in 'Merica w/ a co-op punk record store, far as I know.

Teenage Bottlerocket are pretty fun pop-punk.  Almost as Ramones as the Queers.

Huh, that's pretty specifically my story too - didn't discover them until 2007, via The Argument, at 23 on a bus in Seattle.  End Hits is my 1A to Repeater.

Better than I could be at hawking canned soup.

Dude, I did the same thing.  I had no plans to register as an avid reader the last 6 years; seeing an Oi! primer forced me into it.

That's my inclination too - I always knew Street Punk as specifically the Unseen and Casualties, but maybe that was just a New England/NYC thing.

Only Ken Casey, the bassist, is an original member.  But "The Meanest of Times" was a great throwback record.  First one I liked start-to-finish since "Do Or Die" (in my opinion, one of the greatest American punk albums of the 90's).

Saw that same set (Business and Anti-Heroes), but in '99 with Blood For Blood opening in Worcester, MA.  Most fun, fierce show I've ever been to.
