The band's own website. Pretty sly.

insightful capsule review
The split with CtO fucking rules. Great songs on both sides, plus they do that thing I love love love where each band takes potshots at the other - They Live counter CtO's "Four Alarm Fire at Lockport Gambino Ford" with "No Alarm Break In at Who's Emma" (mp3 on the website, by the way - you go listen), and somewhere in one of em is the line "but at the end of the day, you still have to live there." Hee hee.
