Biography (source last.fm) :
Formed in 1993, punk rockers Welt hail from Sacramento, CA. Despite
numerous lineup changes over the years, founding member and main
songwriter Jason Cooper (bass/vocals) has remained a constant fixture.
Signing with the independent (and now defunct) Dr. Dream label shortly
after Welt's formation, a series of singles were issued, as well as the
full-lengths Better Days in 1995, Kicked in the Teeth in 1996, and Broke
Down in 1998, during which time the band relocated to Orange County,
CA. By the late '90s, Welt's permanent lineup became solidified,
consisting of the ever-present Cooper, guitarists Tobe Bean and Todd
Harper, plus drummer Marc Harrismendy. 2001 saw Welt's first release for
the Better Youth Record Co., Brand New Dream.

for a short time in the 90's I lived in the Sacramento area and was pretty lucky to catch Welt quite often, they seemed to get on the bill at the Cattle Club quite often. Anyway I love Better Days & Kicked in the Teeth Again, this looks like a good opportunity to catch up with the rest of their stuff
