I was introduced to this fairly prolific Thousand Oak, CA crew via the crucial, Ben Weasel-curated Punk USA compilation. Though plenty snide and irreverent, Scratch Bongowax's pop and cranky garage-rawk tangents must have made them stick out like out like a sore thumb amongst their purist punk contemporaries. Mudhoney by way of Mr. T Experience? Sort of - and to large extent it actually works. As for the defaced visages adorning the cover, this somewhat unsettling "motif" would carry over to each and every future S/B record sleeve. A thorough and mildly entertaining bio can be enjoyed at their Myspace corner of the web, and their discography is detailed here. 01. Pall Bearing Insurance Collecting Widows
