The 15-year old boy in me will always love the punk-funk stylings of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime and early Incubus.  California's Stuntditch is a group that falls on a similar tree, only on a much lower bough and about twenty years too late.  Sometimes, particularly on a song like “Consent” in which frontman Dom Guaro talks about “smackin’ that ass” and proclaims, “fuck the law,” he sounds like the reincarnation of Bradley Nowell.  While their music can be fun, it is too familiar, in as much so one has to wonder why the boys don’t just start covering the songs of their forefathers.  If you slept through the mid-nineties, this band might be for you.  But for the rest of us, they represent a type of music that most people aren’t nostalgic for.
