It should be noted that neither song on this Honor Role record is named "Craig Olive" - yeah, it's one of those seven inches. I'm not even sure what I mean by that...I've just never liked it when a seven inch has a "name." Pet peeves don't always have to make sense. I've always thought of Honor Role as a "spazzy proto-math rock" meets "eighties college rock" band, but only the b-side "Lives Of The Saints No. 135 (Naked Wife)" mostly fits that billing; side a, "Twist!," is kinda boring and uneventful and not a cover of the famous song by the same name. Both songs can also be found on the compilation that Merge put out in the nineties that was inventively titled "Album."
