Take tercet geeky but music-smart guys from the high school AV club, bring their Winona Ryder-gone-punk dream date, feed them all a unwavering diet of Judas Priest, the Buzzcocks, and movies selected from The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film, and there's a good chance the results mightiness resemble Seattle's Schoolyard Heroes.

However, they were unaware the competition was sponsored by a Christian younker mathematical group, and midway through their performance the song's lyrics caused the promoters to overstretch the plug.
From this adverse beginning, Schoolyard Heroes stirred forward, blending the band's precise punk metal attack with Donnelly's full bodied, theatrical outspoken elan and lyrics that much cited the titles and themes of pulp novels and horror movies, and before long they were playacting kayoed regularly.
