Pinhead Gunpowder

S.F. Bay Area super-group Pinhead Gunpowder features members of: Green Day, Fuel, Crimpshrine and Monsula -- some of the best Punk bands to ever come from the area. They're gruff and poppy, crunchy but easy to digest. One bite and you won't be able to stop. They're like finding a whole box of donuts in a dumpster full of records and boxes of Letraset. Aaron Cometbus wrote most of the lyrics, and thus sound like parts of his zine set to ultra-catchy music. You can tell the members have formed this band for fun. The sing-a-long, crunchy-peanut-butter vocals are powerful, the guitars pound, and the drums push the sound faster, grabbing the rest of the band by the hand and pulling it along like a hyper-active kid at a carnival.
