The Brokenskulls sound like a band that would play so loud that Ned Flanders had already written a polite complaint. And Mr. Burns would probably try to shut them down. The Brokenskulls design takes Springfield in a darker, more rock-oriented direction with a skull look and a style that sits quite far from the normal yellow family idyll. It surprisingly works well in a universe where Bart loves rebellion, Homer loves anything that requires minimal effort, and the town generally has never been very good at keeping things under control. A Simpsons T-shirt for fans who want a little more rock in Springfield and a little less couch. Turn it up. Flanders can always knock later. Warning: If The Brokenskulls offer to rehearse in your garage, warn Flanders first. It is not a band that accepts “could you turn it down a notch?”
