They must have sold a metric shit ton of those Bombs Away tapes. I think everyone in town expected these guys to get real big on the metal scene, including themselves. Not sure why that never happened. I know they had some sort of deal with a major label, and put out an album on Red Decibel. <br \/><br \/>I went to high school with the bass player, Curtis. I remember watching them practice in his parents basement once. Really nice guy. The singer, Jimmy was the metal hipster in town (I don&#8217;t mean that in a bad way), and went on to play with Andrew WK.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\" pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" ><h4 class=\"pt-cv-title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/MNPunk.com\/?p=1486\" class=\"_self\" target=\"_self\" >Dillinger Four<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MQC8A4Kwk-U?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dillinger Four <br \/>Extreme Noise 20th Anniversary <br \/>Triple Rock Social Club <br \/>4 April 2014<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\" pt-cv-content-item pt-cv-2-col\" ><h4 class=\"pt-cv-title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/MNPunk.com\/?p=1483\" class=\"_self\" target=\"_self\" >The Strike<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"pt-cv-content\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zwwVpYUoDF4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Strike (2) <br \/>Extreme Noise 20th Anniversary <br \/>Triple Rock Social Club <br \/>4 April 2014<br \/><br \/>Listen to that crowd sing along for a band that hadn&#8217;t existed in a decade!
