"It's Good to Be Me" is one of the new songs from Otto's Revenge and their new record "Shut Up I'm Thinking."

That's right, MF's, after 30+ years on the St. Louis music scene, we are one of the most bad ass hard rock bands on the scene.

While you were shopping at Hot Topic we were drenched in the sweat and spit of 1980s punk shows of the bands that now define the punk genre when you were an outcast to even know their name: Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedies, JFA, Government Issue, and on and on.

It's Good To Be Me

Otto’s Revenge is an American punk/alternative band founded in St. Louis in 1989 by Jerry Morgenthaler and Kurt Hoffmann. The band was active in the St. Louis music scene originally from 1989 through 1997, producing 3 records and playing countless live shows.

The band is also notable for curating and producing The Guide to Fast Living compilation series of St. Louis area punk and alternative bands in the 1990s.
