About

Coming in towards the end of the awesome Garage scene that caused a worldwide earthquake centered in San Francisco, Loli & the Chones piqued the ears of even the most jaded scenesters. Their sound was similar to the raw, lo-fidelity, trashy noise of a hundred other bands spawned by this Garage monster, but was distinctly forceful and played with an abandon seldom heard anymore in Punk -- their songs were far too simple, utterly stupid and perfectly spot-on. Loli & the Chones rolled suburban boredom and teen frustration into one shining example showing that, despite MTV's invasion, X-radio stations and the Vans Warped Tour, real Punk remains alive and kicking.
