I agree with you for the most part, especially in regard to AOD and Heart Attack. But l dug Even Worse. For me they were just sloppy fun. Or maybe I just had a crush on their singer, Rebecca. False Prophets were good people with their hearts in the right place, they just seemed quite silly at times and not in a good way. I remember eating at Dojo and looking out the window and seeing Stefan with his monkeyhead cane leading a line of protesting teens down St. Marks Place., which was nowhere near City Hall or the UN or wherever would have been appropriate to what they were protesting. Kraut always struck me as safe corporate punk, I never understood why friends liked them.... In retrospect, it's too bad that books on NYHC have distorted the history, with bands that were jokes back then now considered the most influencial on the scene.
THE HEADLICKERS!!!!!
