Peace thru Vandalism

The EP introduced the band's style of fast punk rock with humorous, tongue-in-cheek lyrics and subject matter.

This style would continue throughout the band's career, as they have always shown a preference for lighthearted humor over serious or controversial subjects such as political and social issues.

At the time of the EP's release this was a somewhat novel concept, as most punk bands in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas focused on politics, social and personal issues in their music.

The song received radio airplay on KROQ-FM's Rodney on the ROQ program and was the band's first minor "hit" in the punk community.

Perhaps the most well-known song from the EP is "Anarchy Burger (Hold the Government)," which became something of an anthem for the band and was played at their shows well into the late 1990s.
