With bandmembers hailing from the towns of Ephrata and Moses Lake in Grant County, Washington, punk-pop outfit Moral Crux are another rollicking rock band with a musical and political outlet that resembles the intensity of the Queers. Having played to SoCal crowds and surroudings punk pockets since the early '90s, Moral Crux built themselves a name and landed a deal with Lookout!, the label that brought Green Day, Rancid, and the Donnas to the mainstream. Something More Dangerous was issued in fall 1999 and Side Effects of Thinking followed a year later. I Was a Teenage Teenager and And Nothing But the Truth were both issued on Coldfront in early 2001. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
