Annotation
Punk Rock group formed in 2001 in Long Beach, California, USA. Its membership included: Celso (lead guitar, vocals), Seth (guitar, vocals), Tim (bass, vocals), and Keith (drums, percussion). The song "Vietnam Vacation" (FA2001), featuring the sound-effects of war mid-way through the song, tells the story of a soldier "sent to Vietnam" at "the age of 21, left in the jungle". He does "five fucking tours". Then into the present tense, the veteran is "sitting in the park", telling the narrator "all the horrors".
