feat Dave Wyndorf & Daniel Rey who produced those Ramones albums and that.

Signed to Electra during their heyday, Shrapnel followed the passionate leanings of Wyndorf’s infatuation with all things punk rock militia. An avid historian, Wyndorf guided the group, going as far as to don military helmets and paraphernalia in their quest for original image. The band even had a comic book bestowed upon their dirty rock greatness, which is interesting considering Wyndorf later logged time working at a comic book store to pay the bills before Monster Magnet exploded. However, as most intense musical groups that burn supernova bright, Shrapnel disbanded.

They had sandbags on stage!

They played a gig at Norman Mailer's house with Woody Allen and Kurt Vonnegut in the audience!

Most importantly this song is very good power pop punk
