I went to college in Santa Barbara from 99-02 and was also really into the skatepunk scene all through high school. I knew of them mainly cause they were local to SB, opening for other bands from the genre/scene touring through. They had a following in town, but beyond that it seemed like they were pretty unknown outside of Southern California.

Bands like them really benefited from fests like Warped Tour in those days. I remember being slightly surprised when I lived in FL a few years after leaving SB and friends out there had heard of them.
