Just to set the record straight: Shattered Faith was formed in the late 70s in O.C. along with the likes of Middle Class, TSOL, Adolecents, etc. They've played over the years with the above bands plus Bad Religion, CH3, The Vandals and countless others. They would open for the Cramps in the early 80's on a regular basis. Bands such as Offspring and Stone Temple Pilots have even opened for them (Shattered Faith). As far as the "commercial website, t-shirts and skateboards" - name me a band that doesn't sell merch and I'll show you a bunch of guys that are broke...even back 20 years ago, every punk band was slingin' merch to try and make a buck, so the comment obviously stems from a misconception (even Fugazi sells merch!). By the way, the baseplayer does the "commercial" website, so it doesn't cost 'em anything! It's a shame some people that claim they're "punk" don't know their history. Oh, all the links on the SF website are to friends and supporters sites.
Sorry for the rant, just a fan, and I hope I don't offend.
Hey Geeky Tiki - Glad you like the site!
