The Birth Defects (LA)
"The Birth Defects are a breath of smoggy air in a genre that has been gentrified and made palatable to the masses. Members of The Birth Defects are made up of Petey Dammit from Thee Oh Sees, Jonathan Safley, former drummer of the band Bleached and Jason Gerkin of Shiner. But the true personality, charm and parent cringing reflexes of the band emanate from lead singer/guitarist, Jason Finazzo. He is a true, in your face, punk front man.” - JankySmooth.com
