Rocket from the Crypt played in my living room way back in the day.
The "party/college-rock" thing does describe pretty well what they do, and a couple albums such as "Scream..." are not particularly great. "Circa Now" is widely considered the definitive album to get, though. My favorite RFTC record was "The State of the Art Is on Fire"...available on 10" and CD from Sympathy for the Record Industry.
There was a pre-RFTC/DLJ band called Pitchfork. Their album is still in print, as their Swami label reissued it about 2 years ago. You might as well get that while you're at it.
These guys make it fairly easy to get all of the RFTC family tree stuff...check Swami Records website.
