Now THESE are fans...

The Dash is sincerely ambivalent about providing pub to the following "band," but found it too perversely interesting to resist.

The inbox turned up a release from a Columbus, Ohio, group calling itself the Dead Schembechlers (33), which alleges itself to be "purveyors of punk rock written exclusively about the Ohio State Buckeyes versus University of Michigan football rivalry."

In the words of lead singer Bo Biafra, who apparently wrote the release himself, "The Dead Schembechlers have shaken the very foundation of the Big Ten football conference." (He also identifies the band's other members as Bo Thunders, Bo Vicious and Bo Scabies. Sounds like Bo knows weird. And Bo knows self-promotion.)

Biafra advises The Dash that the band's album, "Wolverine Destroyer," is now available on iTunes. Verbatim:

It features songs like the viciously entertaining "Bomb Ann Arbor Now" which sings of the President of the United States calling in a nuclear strike against Michigan Stadium the home of Wolverines football. Other cuts on the album include their ode to the on field omnipresence of one particular Buckeyes player "Tedd Ginn Did Everythin'," the story of a trip to a Michigan reservoir "I Peed in Ann Arbor's Water Supply," the epic tale of the U of M's greatest missed kick "Wide Left: The Ballad of Mike Lantry" and a slightly scrambled epitaphic swipe at their foes "Muck Fichigan."

Swell. Go light another couch on fire, fellas.

I like their style, just not their allegiance.

I bet they're very popular at all the frat parties this year. Good marketing, if you think about it.
