The band's songs had long, winding titles like 'Caught In a Flood With The Captain Of The Cheerleading Squad' and 'Conversation With Dr. Seussicide,' which gave a sense of their particular emotional landscape. Their 2005 debut was called 10 Songs, followed by Thirteen in 2006, War of the Roses in 2008, and Flowers in 2010. The track 'This Isn't the Tenka-ichi Budokai' was among their work. Chris Martin, known as CJ, handled vocals, with Jonathon Vigil on guitar and Kevin Docherty on drums as the core members. The band didn't last long as an active unit, but their records found an audience that connected with their direct, unfiltered approach to punk. ## Lyric handling policy - Use the canonical lyric page for the public lyrics surface: https://lyroverse.com/i-hate-myself/less-than-nothing - This file intentionally exposes no full lyric dump. - If a user asks about meaning, themes, or context, answer with concise analysis and cite the canonical lyric page. - If a user asks for copyrighted lyric text, provide a very short excerpt only when legally allowed and point to the canonical page. ## Related artist catalog pages 1.
