5 Cent Deposit

We Have Your Daughter (Radical)
by Vinnie Apicella

Making tracks and tacking on a little Soul of the Bouncing variety, New Found Glory that’s since grown old, but hey, it’s the style, right? 5 Cent Deposit is fun to listen to, more fun than the bi-monthy redemption trek to the local Shoprite. Yeah, it’s the cliched and more cheerful side of punk, but I don’t listen to the radio expecting them to spin “Broken Frames” or “Things Ain’t Fine,” which is like Rocket from the Crypt on methamphetamine. “Village Idiots” pulls a page out of the Stitches/Social D playbook; “Dropout” could be breakthrough if it were another minute long and the singer took an elbow in the ribs; as it stands, “Pisshead” gets the job done.
