Release


Straight Ahead was released in June 1999. In October 2000, the band played at Cypress Hill's Smoke Out Festival.[8] The band toured Australia in November 2000; the dates were rescheduled from July 2000 as Lindberg's mother was suffering from cancer.[9][10] They were supported by Frenzal Rhomb and Game Over.[11]


Critical reception


Ox-Fanzine called the album "fast, direct, accomplished and powerful."[12] CMJ New Music Report wrote that "the inescapable anger highlights, rather than buries, the metallic power riffs and inspired drumming."[13] Phoenix New Times wrote that Straight Ahead is "rooted in West Coast surfer-skater party-punk, with rough-and-tumble melodies on top of briny torrents of guitars."[6]
