"Everybody" knows that song, and thinks of it as a harmless party song. "Nobody" has heard their earlier stuff which alternates between punk and anarchism-pop.

If I remember correctly, they emerged from the blue collar punk scene, and draws a lot of their political views from there.

Nothing special to see or hear in any of the following: their earlier stuff, their later stuff, tracks 2โ€“12 on the same album, the 10,000 word essay in the liner notes, their followup single, etc.
