Jeff Jarvie made home tapes under the band names,  The Cheapskaters and Mystery Tramps in the late 80s to early 90s. It was raw, folk punk with obsessive culture references and conpsiracy theories with a persecution complex. Mike Gunderloy banned him from Factsheet Five (Jarvie produced a lot of tapes). His column, Speculation, started appearing in GAJOOB shortly thereafter.

The song, "Nothing's Sacred" seems to summarize the general theme behind most of the songs on these tapes, and also the general attitude of this band. These songs are filled with anger and cynical humor, usually shouted with acoustic guitar/drums backing up very low in the mix. I think if these guys took some time with the recording process (sound-wise at least-- the performances are good as they are) and made the instruments bite as hard as the vocals, they would definitely have a powerful piece of work here. -- Bryan Baker
