​Limp Bizkit announced that their first record in eight years, Gold Cobra, will be released on June 28 (coinciding with a tour of Europe, where they inexplicably maintain a fan base).

​Everybody in Orange County knows the members of the Vandals are as punk as they come.

But who would have guessed they were also neo-grunge post-metal alterna-rockers? For  a little more than a year in the early '90s, two of them were.

Drummer Josh Freese and guitarist Warren Fitzgerald, along with vocalist  Darren McNamee and Big Drill Car bassist Bob Thomson released a 12-song album entitled Now I Eat Them.

The album, which featured cover art of a large roach type insect in full vestments presiding over the wedding of two lovely women, was released on Warner Music Group subsidiary Giant.
