Does anyone outside of the Oils' intense fan-base
appreciate their talent?  Why do they go unnoticed?
Did the LA Times even acknowledge their existence
any time in past five years?  Suprisingly, the OC
Register does; the writer must be a big fan.  Do
the NPR rock music stations in Southern California
give them any notice?  How can so much quality go
unnoticed?  I know that it's not that we are wierdos
for liking them!
