Better than the "sex pistols", but not the Clash.

Of course, Punk is as retro as first generation power now.

The initials "F" and "U" on the nose of the diesels on their site seem befitting for their style...

Probably just follow the Franklin, Union & Central Kentucky paint scheme.

To quote the website:

"The name 'F-Units' is a metaphor for the band's sound which is fueled by power-pop hooks and raunch-rock riffs slammed together with the mind-numbing force of a streamlined freight train."

Are power-pop hooks cheaper than diesel?

Not a bad sound, actually. If you watch the interview (I know you ALL want to) they admit they are not railfans.

I got the one with the F Units & skull. Wonder how many they'll sell from this thread. They should donate 10% to RYPN as a finder's fee.

You mean they came clean and acknowledged so??? Definitely a shocking revelation. I never leave the house without a train or traction themed shirt just to hide my non-foamer orientation. Maybe someday I'll have the courage they showed and come out of the closet.
