Monty MessexGUEST
Yeah, so I was writing these hardcore songs around 1992, I suppose, and really thinking about bad religion, how could hell be any worse? that record, that record is like a hardcore classic.

Monty MessexGUEST
And then I started writing like hardcore songs that sounded that were inspired by kind of like what Tom and I went to these, these, you know, KSOL or whatever shows in, in, in LA.

Monty MessexGUEST
And, and so I had written these songs and, and as, Tom said our friend Ioni was with Adam Horowitz and the Beastie Boys, and we became friends with them when they were out here and actually hung out with them and went to the park and did all that stuff.
