Often cited as one of the most influential and creative bands of the last decade.[dubious — see talk page] Boston hardcore circa 2001. Popularized a style of hardcore that is sometimes known as "Bust It" or "Lockin' Out," due to similar bands like Justice and Righteous Jams being on Greg's label. Originally signed to Bridge 9 records, they left after the release of Get An Oxygen Tank! in 2003 and signed to Lockin' Out (run by Greg himself.) They released an EP and another full length before disbanding in early 2006. Lyrical topics often included friendship, mistakes, regret, and straight edge (ironic because Greg and Dookie eventually broke edge.) Derek Scace and DFJ have formed new bands, while Greg runs Lockin' Out records.
