10 songs on Army Ant Records in 99. Aside from the sickening religious liner notes, the band is pretty cool. I have been able to see these guys live a few times, and they kick ass. “Wishful Thinking” sounds like a song fit for 120 minutes with an excellent groove and a sound like the Crash Test Dummies with 70s country.
