Pretty nice collection of punk, country and garage rawk bands from the U.S., Japan, Italy, Sweden and Poland. Some classic bands like the Dicks and some newer ones like the Cupacabra Jr.

(((1))) AVOID! FCCs UP THE WAZOO! (Great song regadless)
2 – FCCs like mad – avoid!
3 – FCCs like crazy yet again – avoid!
((((4)))) Tight, focused, 70’s glam flavored ur-punk. Nice (& clean!)
((5)) Off-kilter meandring noise w/twang & spoken vox.
((((6)))) Wild, maricachi-punk!? Great horn & mandolin sound with jutting rockin’ guitars. (FCC “Shit” sung once)
(((7))) Drunken country-punk, with a swaggering voice that sounds like “too many JD shots”
((((8)))) Severely intoxicated, wobbly country-folk. Absolutely wonderful woozy voice!
((9))) Distortion, noise, fuzz to punk n’ roll. Generic but semi-passable glammy vox. (FCCs “Shit” sung twice)
10) Big dumb hardcore ‘ala current-era Monster Magnet.
(((11))) Pretty good, derivative as hell & straight hard rock ‘ala Danko Jones.
((((12)))) Fast, furious & wailing cover of the Count Five classic.
(((13))) Punk n’ roll, typical, dirty, glam-like but mostly good. Similar to Hanoi Rocks or Toilet Boys.
(14) Cutesy, girly pop punk. How can you be from NYC and sound soooo soft?
(15) Twisted acoustic & electric psych swagger by way of the Stooges. Weird and boring.

DISC II
((((1)))) Crazed, screamy Japanese garage punk with female vox, sung in Japanese. Great take on the “Batman” theme.
((2)) Generic but decent raw r n’ r with distant, distorted bullhorn voice.
((((3)))) Wild, crawling on the floor “Nuggets” compilation-era rawk.
((4)) Lazy, twangy, ‘ala The Sonics on dramomine.
(((5))) Loose & reverb soaked Japanese rawk shouter, like a “sock hop from hell”.
((((6))))) Twangy, surfy instrumental. Great guitar work. Paging Dr. Furious!
((((7)))) Go-go boot crazy Japanese girl-rock stuck in the way back machine in 1966.
((((8)))) Organ drenched, “spy pop”. Quentin Tarintino would poop himself if he heard this.
(9) FCC VIOLATION – SKIP IT!
((((10)))) Rippin’, raw h.c. with female vox in “Polski”.
((11)) Swedish, ugly garage/punk n’ roll. Stoopid but sorta ok.
(((12)))) Hardcore-ish ‘ala D.O.A. via Texas badassery.
(((13))) Woozy, bassy, Scratch Acid/Jesus Lizard with “Jello on downers” vocals.
(14) Melodic, driving but redundant as hell.
(((15))) Speedy & kinda rippipn’ punk n’ roll like the Dwarves.
(((16))) Simple, fast & cynical punk ‘ala Zeke, old Supersuckers. Good guitar sound. (FCC “shit” sung once)
((17)) Echo-y, slightly twangy rock. Nothing terrible but nothing compelling either.
((18)) Swingin’ country-punk with sorta annoying female vox
