Listening to their last album "3-Way Tie For Last" (which has some brilliant songs among some so-so ones) it seems like they were on the verge of making it big right when D. Boon died. And their message seems to be still very relevant today, for example songs like "Political Nightmare" and "Just Another Soldier".
