31 Hardcore & Punk, power pop & related bands covering older BYO bands songs (or bands who had at least 1 song on BYO). Namely: 7 Seconds, SNFU, Battalion of Saints, Adolescents, Bad Religion, etc. Pretty good for what it is. This is also a soundtrack to a documentary on the label. (((((1))))) Ace cover of the 7 Seconds anthemic HC classic. (((2))) Good & tough Oi!/Street Punk (dunno the original) but this is Paddy from Dillinger Four’s recent band – so it gets points just for that. (((3))) (FCC “bullshit” sung once) Slow, rock into fast typical NOFX poppy punk played a way more hardcore than usual tempo. ((((4)))) Catchy, very So. Cal punk (tho’ this original was done by Canadians). Lots of Danzig-y vocals & “whoa-whoa”s. (((5))) (FCC “shits”) Pop-punk with emphasis on the pop – not bad. Way more Weezer-like than say, 7 Seconds. ((6)) Generic ass pop punk with Bad Religion-y vocals. This is the shit that clogged up “punk” in the 90s. (((7))) Decent 70’s style poppy punk with a good chorus. ((((8)))) Classic U.S. Hardcore sound, dirty, raw & ready to tear your face off! ((((9)))) Another USHC classic, nice intro with echo and good guitar sound, crap drumming tho’. (((10))) Big bass & chunky guitar sound, catchy chorus. Pretty good. ((11)) Rancid/later Social D., strummy “bar punk”. (12) Horrible acoustic ballad into mall punk. ((13)) So-so, skinny tie rocker ballad. ((14)) Gravely voice singer with some very 80’s AOR rock mixed with vague pop-punk style. OK I ‘spose. (((((15)))))) Excellent Pegboy cover – done up perfectly. Hell, extremely close to the original ‘cept more British sounding vocals. ((((16))))) (FCC “shit”) Another early US HC classic done up with nice bass & roughneck vocals. ((((17)))) Fast & speedy crucial HC sound (Canadian not US this time), lots of calls & response vocals. Tho’ sounds like their singing “Fore-head Policy”. ((((18))))) (FCC “fuck” 4x) Good modern US hardcore with some pretty nice vocals & a good guitar break. “Where’s the anger?” EXACTLY! ((19)) So-so, very early 80’s new-wavey punk with faux UK accents. (20) They Might Be Giants go country. Puke! (((21))) (FCC “shit” sung once) Poppy, Rancid-y 90’s punk, file in: “stuff the kids like that doesn’t completely suck”. (((22))) Decent modern obnoxio-punk cover of the Canadian Subhumans. Might be an FCC for “Swallow my piss” and the chorus. ((23)) (FCC “fucking” sung once) Anthemic, like later Ramones but way more messy & confused sounding. ((((24)))) Nice & raw take on the sleazy glam punk tune from the legendary “Somebody’s Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In” compilation. (((25))) TOO MANY FCCs–AVOID! Otherwise a fine tune. ((26)) Generic gutter punk with good guitars tone. ((((27))))) Mid-paced & very catchy hardcore. Good take on the first Bad Religion uh, “hit”. (((28))) Pretty cool synth-rock by the main guy (and pal of Boyd Rice) from Alkaline Trio. ((29)) Bruce Springsteen/80’s beer commercial “punk”. (((30))) Decent & catchy but lo-fi anthemic punk. (((31))) (FCC “fucked up”) Acoustic, sarcastic folk-pop, not bad. Funny tho' since they're from Reno. | ||
