@historyofpunkrock The missing apostrophe made me predisposed to dislike them as a child. Then I heard them and confirmed my suspicions.

@tito_swineflu @historyofpunkrock A buddy of mine in San Diego says they’re playing at House Of Blues soon and we were both wondering how The Exploited could sell enough to get a HoB slot. Must be a support band that people have a boner for. Certainly can’t be the Exploited drawing that much.

@Unabart @historyofpunkrock I have no idea. There are so many creative people with interesting ideas who have been involved in punk music, but not them. The Exploited are the Kid Rock of punk.
