    I have not heard of them, but I dig the band name a ton. Figured I'd speak up.

    I liked them a lot at first, thought the album was great, but i really, really went off them for some reason. I just find them really cheesy and annoying. I dont think ive ever gone from liking a band so much to hating them so much before in my life lol.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    yes, they are great !
    their album "rubbers and cowards" is brilliant. I saw them once in a small venue and it was pretty good.

    That's "Robbers and Cowards". I know that they're from California but even they wouldn't call their album "Rubbers".

    I dig them a lot; will be seeing them this weekend, in fact. And they're way overdue for a new album.

    Lol, rubbers and cowards. That's what it should have been, without a doubt.

    I love this album, and have seen them only once. But they put on a hell of a show.

    thanks for correcting me... English isn't my mothertongue. I don't know those words (rubbers and robbers) well so...

    If you were in the UK:

    rubbers = erasers (pencil erasers)

    If you were in North America:

    rubbers = condoms

    You've got to love the English language.

    There should have been a compromise and named the album condoms and cowards.
