Recorded 'Los Angeles,' 'Wild Gift,' 'Under the Big Black Sun,' 'More Fun in the New World,' 'Ain't Love Grand,' 'See How We Are,' and 'Hey Zeus!'

Their 1985 album, 'Aint Love Grand,' was an unsuccessful attempt at a more 'commercial' sound.

Their early records were produced by Ray Manzarek of the Doors.
Their albums were critically acclaimed.
They are influenced by beat poetry, country, blues and rockabilly.
Unlike a lot of other punk bands, they can really play their instruments.
They are Los Angeles' greatest and most enduring punk band.
