Interesting, thanx for sharing.... I wanna know more about some of these cool-looking bands I’ve never heard of (like the Suburban Lawns and UXA).

Suburban Lawns are pretty legendary, their singer left music never to return early on. the "Janitor" video is all-time.
UXA were very well loved among SoCal punks at the time but you never hear em mentioned much now afaik

suburban lawns are great weirdo punks. their singer su tissue is also in "something wild" when they go to the reunion.
