D.O.A. – Live Free Or Die (Sudden Death, 2004)
D.O.A.‘s ska-punk album (and no I’m not kidding).
Snuff. – Tweet Tweet My Lovely (Fat Wreck-Chords 1998)
Sad to see the ever-rockin’ Snuff in the $2.00 bin but I couldn’t pass it up.
The Tours – Album of the Year (Cherry Red, 2010)
Back in ’79 someone called the dual singer-songwriter attack of Ronnie Mayor and Richard Mazda “the Punk Lennon-McCartney”, while that may not have been true the two led this killer mod-punk-power-power pop band to some delirious, if short-lived, heights.
TV Smith’s Cheap – R.I.P. (NTV, 1995)
“Get Ready for the Axe to Drop!”
OFF! – 7” (Vice Records, 2010)
Brutally answers the immortal question “What would have happened if Keith Morris had never left Black Flag?”
The Alarm – Direct Action (EMI, 2010)
Mike Peters has survived cancer twice and yet The Alarm is now rocking harder than the 80’sincanation of the band ever did.
Len Price 3 – Pictures (Wicked Cool, 2010)
Garage-punk but with lots of tra-la-la-‘s
