Punk bands covering Sex Pistols’ songs? Isn’t that what practically all punk records are anyway? Sheeeit…

Might As Well… Can’t Dance – Review

This comp samples Tooth & Nail’s expanding roster of rock bands that stretch over many genres. I guess Starflyer 59 was too mellow to make this thing, huh?
