American punk rock band formed in Minneapolis in 1994. Long-running lineup: Patrick "Paddy" Costello (vocals/bass), Erik Funk (vocals/guitar), Bill Morrisette (drums, 1994-1998), Lane Pederson (drums, since 1998), and Billy Morrisette/Dan Adriaens (guitar). Distinguished by their politically charged lyrics and high-tempo melodic hardcore approach.
Four studio albums between Midwestern Songs of the Americas (1998) and Civil War (2008). Released primarily on Fat Wreck Chords and Hopeless Records. The band releases material at a deliberately slow pace; Civil War has been their most recent album for over 16 years.
