Of course! Who wouldn't?

Fun fact - I got a free single, may have been on tape, even, probably in 1998 from them, because they were trying hard to get radio play (and publicity) on the college radio station I worked at.

Listened to it a few times, didn't think it was that great. Just another OC pop ska band, I think (may have been SD). But heard a few tracks a month or two ago on Tidal, and their music has actually kind of held up, granted, with some nostalgia. Still prefer Goldfinger, the Skeletones, DFL, Vandals, Offspring, and NOFX. But LTJ has a special place, thanks to a free single.

OK, that was all from memory. Fact-checking it with Wikipedia (ymmv) today, there was a single released from Hello Rockview, "History of a Boring Town", in 1998. And there is a direct mention of college radio in the Wikipedia article as well: "The band spawned a minor college radio hit with "History of a Boring Town"" - well, that was done by handing out tons of free singles to college radio DJs.

Still, that was some pretty fucking accurate memory for 25 years in the past, for some band I wasn't even into.
