Today’s Video Flashback is from The Dingees for their track “Chaos Control” (off “Armageddon Massive 1998 BEC Recordings). These guys were somewhat of a “super group” when they first formed. The band originally had members of The OC Supertones in the band before they were signed. Then Ethan Luck (Relient K, Demon Hunter, Value Pac, Project 86, Pax, etc.) and Matt Hernandez (Ex-Unashamed) joined, and Dave Chevalier (formerly of OC Supertones). The band had a very Rancid-esque sound when they made their major label debut in 1998. By the time “Crucial Conspiracy” hit, most of that “punk” sound was gone in favor or reggae-dub. The band last released “Rebel Soul Sound System” in 2010. I booked these guys a few times when I was a teenager in the 90′s before they were signed and they always put on a fun show. [Wikipedia]

“Rancid-esque” is perhaps being kind. The Dingees’ first album, “Armageddon Massive” is essentially “…And Out Come the Wolves” with different lyrics. That said, I love every second of that album.
Wow, i didnt know they wer stil around+ put out an album in 2010, lol.
One of their newer songs “Blackout” was on Hearts Bleed Passion 4 I think. …which I just realized was 4 years ago. Wow.
Love this band… All four albums still get constant rotation with me. Jeff Holmes (original guitarist in this video) actually played some on their newest album. I honestly don’t see the Rancid comparison though but thats just me.
Same here. Was just listening to Spray Paint a couple of days ago! Love their reggae blend, hope for more material in the future.
Love this band, and this album. I don’t hear Rancid on this record, Sundown may have been a bit more Rancid-esque. Either way, classic vid. Thanks for posting!
