Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Karate (band)" in English language version.
The Minutemen were a huge influence on me when I was young; I still love those records. Punk wasn't a distinct style [to me]; it was more people who didn't fit in anywhere because they mixed styles... the Minutemen really embodied that. There was also a band from D.C. called Beefeater that was very strange – they had a heavy metal guitar player, [and] one of my favorite bass players from D.C., Dug Birdzell, who played slap bass.
