Poisonous Times By The Old Haunts

Speaking of catchy punkish stuff coming off the West Coast (The Muslims are from San Diego), let's look north. I am talking about Olympia, Wa. (of course??), home of The Old Haunts. I don't remember when I first thought to post this, but it was a while ago (the album came out this past April). Anyways, if you don't know it, love it...

Listen: "Poisonous Times" (box.net mp3)

Former bikinikiller Tobi Vail is now drumming for The Haunts. They go through drummers faster that some joke metal band that was in some mockumentary a while back.
