Jesus Freak Hideout:<\/b><\/i> The Dingees are a Christian ska punk band from Orange County, California, formed in 1996. Known for blending punk, reggae, and ska, they released early albums like *Armageddon Massive* and *Sundown to Midnight* on Tooth &#038; Nail Records. Their sound evolved with *The Crucial Conspiracy* and *Rebel Soul Sound System*, incorporating dub and roots influences. After years of side projects and performing as Peg &#038; The Rejected, the original lineup returned in 2023 with the *Dropseeds* EP, released on their own International City Recordings label. The band remains a cult favorite in the Christian underground scene.\n<\/small>\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Dingees - Chaos Control - HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QM3U-lV9vh0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a few cars out at 2 o&#8217;clock, the limousine, me, and the patrol cop<br>Everything seems white in the middle of the night<br>Always get that feeling that things ain&#8217;t quite right<br>The man on the beach now he wants to start a fight<br>Won&#8217;t give him what he wants to feed the stereotype<br>The man in the shop said it&#8217;s all about hype<br>I just can&#8217;t believe it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just a little bit of chaos under quite a bit control<br>A little left of center been the only thing I know<br>Just a little bit of chaos under quite a bit control<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s such a large town to get so far<br>Maybe I&#8217;m neurotic it just seems bizarre<br>Company cars compete speedin&#8217; up the concrete<br>Earn a steady income and then become a deadbeat<br>Underneath the streetlight wait and watch the rat race<br>Fellowman don&#8217;t like ya, decides to put ya in your place<br>Always runnin&#8217; scared &#8217;cause you don&#8217;t understand<br>No way for you to see it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it make you mad that we live this way<br>Are you feeling rather frantic, did we ruin your day<br>Who heeds the voice of the generation that&#8217;s ahead<br>To be slavin&#8217; like a servant I&#8217;ll be better off dead<br>Are you feeling rather frantic, gonna be okay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Follow: Buy: Bandcamp eBay CDandLP Charts: Spotify Apple Music Last.fm Events: Songkick Bandsintown Learn more: Wikipedia Jesus Freak Hideout Via Wikipedia &#038; Jesus Freak Hideout: The Dingees are a Christian ska punk band from Orange County, California, formed in 1996.
