My friend Jimmy was a big proponent of Pipe, the Superchunk spinoff led by Chuck Garrison with a couple members from Small.  Jimmy said they had some Black Flag level rocking although this seems filtered through a Superchunk style.  Later records indeed came on Merge, including another one bought with this order.  This one had more "hits" so I'm going to write about this one first.

I seem to remember having this on "cd repeat" around the time it came out, and over a quarter century later half the tracks on this one stood out in my head upon hearing them.  The opener “Bowling For Fuckers" as well as "Captain Jack" and "You're Soaking In It."  The rest is a slightly rougher version of the Superchunk template  with a bit tougher rocking.  It doesn't go into left field like Flag but there's some good rocking and harmonic chugging.

Some good rocking.
