"No new full-length album has since been released. Although Sloppy Seconds has had some local occult success, their albums are currently hard to find in many mainstream record stores."
I'm editing the above quote because this is an improper use of the word "occult". The word the author was looking for was "cult," but even then, I don't think that one can have "cult success", but must rather have "cult following".--Reverend Distopia 19:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
I just looked at the history section and apparently it originally had the word cult and was changed to occult. In fact, the word "occult" specifically refers to something that is hidden or to something "magical" whereas the word "cult" in reference to pop culture following is comparing the fans of the work to a cult, in other words, a die hard small loyal group. Please don't change this until you've at least given a good argument as to why I'm wrong.--Reverend Distopia 20:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Ok, agreed. Anyway, the server for the Sloppy Seconds' official website is not working at the moment (as of 6-10-06). Someone wrote that they were "maned" after the band 7 Seconds, which is not accurate at all. The sentence was also grammaticaly incorrect, as the person meant "named," but spelled out "maned."
This is what comes from not logging into Wikipedia often enough. I can't even begin to mention the number of punk bands with less notability than Sloppy Seconds who have articles on Wikipedia whom no one has nominated for deletion. I'm glad it didn't happen. I'd bet someone was just offended by them and was looking for an excuse. I'm not saying they're the most influential or most noteworthy band around, but ask any skater in his (or her) late twenties here in California if they know who they are and I guarentee you they'll have heard of them. Seems like notability enough for Wikipedia to me.--Reverend Distopia 19:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
