If you live in the Los Angeles area and you're cool then most likely youve heard The 88 on the radio. But if not then prepare to be blown away by the band that Tower Records selected as their band of the week.

Publications like Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly have been singing the praises of Keith Slettedahl and the rest of the band for months. All their critics have noticed that Slettedahl channels Kinks frontman Ray Davies but thats not bad thing. The kind of rock that The 88 shove...

Isn't 88 some kind of Nazi thing standing for Heil Hitler?

Yes, 88 in neo-nazi/white supremacist symbolism stands for Heil Hitler, where h is the 8th letter of the alphabet, hence 88=hh.

Also generally preceeded by a 14, referring to the 14 word creedo "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

Cute, huh?

There are 88 keys on a piano, there are 88 constellations, there are also 88 counties in California. It's about as likely that The 88 are Nazi's as Tobey McGuire is of becoming the Pope. Please.......
