Best my small town is going to get. The Abington PA Masacree, about getting caught pissing in a local park. I'm about a five-minute walk from that. So, really local. And yes, the band is called Black Vomit.

Barring that, I'm sure there's something out there about Philly, and I think the Bloodhound Gang did something about the wonders and joys of Pennslyvania, such as they are.
