They had this one funny song called Peaches. I saw them last year on some festival. I was drunk so I was jumping around and had some pretty good time.

screamingskull, what have I told you about eating "Rip Van Winkle" brand canned peaches?

Danny Himself 03.27.2007 11:30 AM

Aren't they something to do with Calvin Johnson or something?

PUSA used to be one of my favorite bands and I still enjoy their first albums occasionally. Their album from a couple of years ago had a catchy single

nicfit 03.27.2007 12:48 PM

Well, I like them. Quite a lot. And I like how they play too. Pure entertainment, but pretty enjoyable if that's what you're looking for.

Everyneurotic 03.27.2007 12:53 PM

total novelty act, they are not an album band by any chance.

download these songs:

peaches
volcano
video killed the radio star (cover, of course)

that's all you need to hear by them.

What about "Lump"? Surely he needs to hear that one.

CHOUT 03.27.2007 01:37 PM

I always hated them.

i knew i was missing one, thanks for reminding me.

so, screamingskull, if you don't dig those songs, then you're not going to like them; but they are not a band of substance anyway.

nicfit 03.27.2007 02:49 PM

and tiki god (both versions) and lunatic to love.

The first PUSA record was my first album. I got it when I was in third grade and I still enjoy listening to it. I think stranger and body were the best songs from that album. Also check out the song Volcano from their second album.

Prisstina 03.27.2007 06:40 PM

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

don't mind them, have an album of theirs
don't overdo it though or you'll regret it

afterthefact 03.27.2007 08:48 PM

Anybody hear their awful "cover" of Kick Out The Jams? I put "cover" in quotes because their change the lyrics for the most part, but it is a true disgrace to Mc5...

PUSA?

that's a fucking joke

atari 2600 03.28.2007 05:35 PM

Now is the time some dickhead comes here to tell me that PUSA are better than the Sex Pistols...or that I'm delusional or paranoid or need to "just chill out."

isn't it enough you guys start a thread to bash them after I change my avatar?
