Punk is a weird thing for me. I was a long haired metal head in the early-mid eighties. Never got into punk at all. Way later in life I delved into a tiny bit of it from having younger siblings who are into it. Have you ever listed to D.I.? I like them. Also, ST, but their more metal/skate punk I guess. I have some old MDC stufff as well.
Never heard of DI before. Thanks for the suggestion :)
By ST, you mean Suicidal Tendencies? I posted War Inside My Head to /v/music a while back. I was hesitant to post it to /v/punk as I wasn't certain it was the best fit, even though it bears some of the hallmarks of punk I listed above.
I'm familiar with MDC. Was considering posting "John Wayne Was a Nazi" a while back. Even though it was meant to slander The Duke, the idea of him carrying a picture of Adolph the boy under his cowboy vest makes me like him all the more :)
It has a surf vibe because guitarist Mike Palm, and many other punk guitarist, replicated Dick Dale. Del Tones heavily influenced west coast punk. Several Agent players wound up touring for Dale.

It's a little more refined than traditional punk, which I characterize as usually exhibiting 2 or more of the following qualities:
4 chords
Somewhat indecipherable lyrics
Low production value, often distorted
2-3 minutes per song, tops.
It's got this almost kind of surf-vibe that I think really works for the material.
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to respond. It's kind of fun for me that I happen to come across something that agrees with you now and again :)
