The Shithawks (freaking sweet band name)

The Next Generation of Punk Rockers 
(...except they're extremely clean cut. Did they not get the memo?)

Why I like them: They've got spunk. Check out this quote from their MySpace: "I would compare them to early Led Zeppelin or the Beatles...equal in talent!" -Jon Onymous ... Now, while they sound NOTHING like The Beatles, or Led Zeppelin, that's still a pretty sweet thing to put online. I'd say they're more along the lines of an 80's LA punk rock Weezer - and guys, I mean that in the best way. Their lyrics are funny, the singer's got a quality voice, and they list The Clash, The Stooges AND Opeth as influences. That's quite the dichotic list. Respect.
