Boris The Sprinkler were formed the night of the 1992 ShopKo fireworks in Green Bay. Veterans of numerous local bands (including minor Beer City sensations Suburban Mutilation), they opted to forgo most then-popular musical routes — long-stale hardcore, vaguely melodic emo-esque muttering, dull strummy plugged-in acoustic guitar crap — for the then highly-unpopular music they grew up playing: The punk rock of the late 70’s and early 80’s.
