I've never heard The Dust Junkys, but hed (p.e.) was one of my favorite bands in high school. I've seen them live once, and they were great. That was back in like 2000 (on 4/20, to be exact).
Their self titled album was pretty good. It was hard and unrefined, but it was good. Broke was their best release. You may have heard the song "Hey Bartender" on the radio around that time. Very good album. If you listen to them at all, listen to that.
The album after that (the name fails me now) was also pretty good. They toned down the harder edge though and wrote more...mature songs, I guess. I'll find that name for you in a bit.
The next album I remember from them was called Only In Amerika or something, and it was a huge disappointment. All of the maturity and growth they had been showing disappeared and they went back to sophomoric lyrics and sub par guitar riffs. The first track on the album is about having sex with an underage girl, where MCUD refrains "if fucking you's wrong, I don't wanna be right". HUGE let down.
I stopped listening to them after that.
