The Onions are a product of The Last Daughters of Compton, a band that was featured over 9,000 years ago on the cover of Minimum Rock and Troll.
They are fronted by disgruntled Wisconsin master baiter, online radio superstar, organic farmer, lead guitarist and vocalist Brad X. Brad X looks something like this:
Brad X posts on the Terminal Boredom forums, a gathering place for ass-worshipers, A.D.D record collectors, and most of all punk purists who scoff at the notion that the Black Lips are still a great band. Jared Swilley, Black Lips bassist, was known for logging in TermBo late-night and freaking out on the haters. His most epic diss was: “I have an extremely powerful attorney. i do whatever i want. i travel the world. i get laid by chicks hotter than you douches can dream of (im in her room). and i get paid like a motherfucker. fuck you. your lives suck. i am so fucking happy right now.” The late great Jay Reatard spent a fair amount of time on the forum as well. Nobunny remains the best boarder in the game.
At any rate, behind the internet shit-talking and what have you, lies a fairly accomplished musician who knows the art of the catchy punk song.
Take a look at The Onions MySpace, listen to this reel-to-reel, or go to Texas in March to watch them play at SXSW.

I wonder why they bother arguing with people on the internet at all. The Swilley thing looks like the sort of thing that critics would want him to say to prove that he is out of touch and living a remote existence. They shouldn’t fall for those things. King Khan doesn’t argue on the internet, they said some very bad things about him on Terminal Boredom and there were no angry responses from him. I think some people want to provoke responses from the people involved.
There was one discussion on some site, Buddyhead I think it was, where Mark Sultan showed up in anger denying any breakup of King Khan and BBQ as the headlining article claimed and was angry and critical of the site and everyone involved then later started backpedelling, saying that he didn’t really mean some of the things he said, and someone said something about how Mark Sultan was going to fall into obscurity quickly enough. After King Khan and BBQ did break up someone claiming to be him posted there, sounding like he had been pistolwhipped, with more apologies for criticising their false story, going on about how they were right all along when this they were not right when they reported it. The thing is there someone made a comment about wanting to see Mark Sultan fall, offering this for his reading pleasure. The whole thing was unnecessary.
So in the end, it could simply be that they enjoy these arguments, and if they do I guess they should help themselves.
