That first cymbal hit in this song wakes you up -- good morning, get your ass out of bed. They bring it down for a few seconds, classy guitar lick and some rim tapping, then it's right back to the chaotic singing and drumming. Delightful.
The Intelligence are a mainstay of the punk scene in the Northwest; their members are in countless other bands, notably The Dipers, A-Frames, and AFCGT. Each band they get involved in becomes progressively weirder than the last, resulting in songs like this. Play that shit real loud, that's how you piss off your parents.
They're touring anywhere & everywhere. If you tell them it's your birthday, apparently they will "say it into the mic." The second song is from their album this year on In the Red, you can get their second 2009 album from Born Bad, and the single with the Like x7 song from ... InSound.
