A wise investment if you like your punk rock snotty and raw. They seemingly rip off every record they've every heard and regurgitate and cocktail of power-pop-punk, oi, whatever. I could offer you a luandry list of references, the Dead Boys, Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols, you should get the idea. If you don't, I don't even want to talk about it.

This kicks so much ass, I don't know where to start. Commited to the sonic ethics of Detroit bands like the Stooges and MC5 with a big nod to punk this is a good collection of previously vinyl only rarites. so many rock bands have tried to cash in on that intersection of psychedelic rock and punk and simply sounded like bad Black Sabbath. This is a good collection of songs by a bunch of Swedes who play metal like the 80's never happened. This band is so good I can't believe they are real.

This sounds like shit, the songs are too short and the jokes are dumb. For some people those might be positive things, (it's the same thing they said about the Ramones back in the day) and as much as I like the Dwarves this is possibly their weakest album, I commend them for getting signed to Sub-Pop then taking the money and running, but get a different Dwarves album if all you know them from is the songs on the Punk o Rama comps.

Pure pummeling hate and sneer. Not as varied as Kicked in the Teeth, not as bluesy as everything before, but brutally effective. Play Rhiannon,(not listed, no doubt for legal reasons, I cannot imagine Stevie Nicks putting here okay on this version of the song) to clear early morning straglers of your property the next time you have a party.

Very good collection of NBT rarites. If you got into them post-Scard Straight, this might be a little rough. If you love their raw, rock sound and Eric's wailing this is just your poison. Some odd covers including an anusual Stones song and just a good representation of one of the best punk rock bands ever.

Collects some of Zeke's pre-Epitaph singles, before they were so devoted to the speedmetal, Hessian vibe. It's still all about drugs, sex, and motorcycles but with more garage and punk influence. Analyzing Zeke is pointless, the thing is out of print anyway. So until I can find Flat Tracker and Real Racing Sounds, this'll do, pig.

These guys were a big deal in Texas for a while. Catchy propulsive alcohol fueled snotty punk. Some good covers, much better produced than anything else they ever did, you could waste 10$ on a lot worse things.

I must officially be too old for Screeching Weasel, sorry Ben, this didn't do it for me. Some good songs, but the mediocre ones drag the album down.

Holy F*%$! I had this on tape back in the day and saw them play San Antonio in '85(!) This still sounds so good. These guys could toe to toe with any new punk bands. Any fan of hardcore and or 80's punk will get a jolt out of this. If you are into Sick of It All or international punk rock you are missing out if you don't give this classic a listen. The singer is out of his mind and the Italian accent is almost impenetrable but it makes it's own twisted sense. Old punks rule.

Zeke is one of the bands that makes life worth living, devoid of anything remotely "pop" yet recorded clean and sharp as steakknives. The influences this band where on it's collective denim jacket sleeve are 80's speedmetal, punk, horror and trash. If the Misfits had kept going, if Motorhead were from the trailer park instead of England, if Iron Maiden played more like the Ramones, If AC/DC had been American dirt-bike junkies, if , if ... If I only had a brain...
