When an audience member at the Circle Jerks' Las Vegas concert on Sunday called Keith Morris a traitor sometime after the pioneering hardcore-punk group performed their Golden Shower of Hits song “Under the Gun,” Morris gave him a mouthful. “I'm a traitor?” Morris said. “Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fuck you. I vote in every election. I always vote for the least stinkiest piece of shit.” Video of the exchange, which took place at Las Vegas' Brooklyn Bowl venue, captured someone comparing the gig to one by the more politically explicit, lefty group the Dead Kennedys, which…

Crobu's debut, “More Than This” – impeccably self-produced, among other things – distances itself…
