Not really a label compilation since the majority of the 22 tracks are not by Traktor7 artists. I’ll assume it reflects the tastes and personalities of the folks behind the label. The most eclectic compilation I’ve ever heard.
Supersuckers rip shit up, Atom & His Package make emocore boys sing to juvenile lyrics, Good Clean Fun pack humor into hardcore, Boris The Sprinkler roars with hilarity, and Propagandhi reign as the most relevant punk band today.
A 16-song set, including tons of classic material from Let Them Eat Pussy and High as Hell and Say Something Nasty. You also get an AC/DC cover (“Shot Down in Flames”) and a Turbonegro cover (“Age of Pamparius”).
Murray and Johansson play off each other perfectly, and director Sofia Coppola masters the balancing act of making the city seem welcoming when the characters are together, and ominous and empty when they’re not.
Lots of drunken revelry is placed against the band taking their mission very seriously indeed, through sincere, well-meaning interview footage documenting everything from the band’s origins to their creative process.
Though it takes nothing away from the majesty of the band’s finest rock, the videos are every bit as bad as I remember. Also included are six rare performances recorded for BBC television, 1975-1980.
A group of disgustingly cute forest creatures who, after being disgustingly cute for a few seconds, get garroted, sliced, and otherwise massacred by the end of the brief segment.
An ode to “low” culture, with splatter flicks, cheesy ’80s references, and appearances by such luminaries as Bam Margera and mega-low budget video queen Misty Mundae.
