The Call certainly got a lot of airplay on 10at10 over the years, as they're from Santa Cruz.

"Now he's a HAS-Been"

(didn't wanna disappoint ya, TC)

in fairness,

I don't think there are any Russians
and there aint no Yanks
Just corporate criminals
Playing with tanks

is one of my favorite lyrics ever.
