This comp nails it. Unlike Now That’s What I Call Shitty Music: Volume Four Billion, How We Rock compiles 19 hotshots and whatnots both trendy and “classic.”
They’re Swedish, a cross of Oi! and gonzo rock, so you get gruff Business vocals over charging Johnny Thunders riffs with occasional Rancid spicing thrown in.
Swedish garage punk: Loud, distorted, fast, infectious. This is pure manic fun, mostly cuz they don’t give a shit if a few notes are missed along the way.
Not every song is all-out speed-kills punk filled with cartwheeling guitar riffs and harmonies stacked like mattresses in a furniture warehouse, but enough are.
I can’t find much fault with Out Of Bounds. The songs are filled with catchy hooks and lots of breaks, and the vocals are very slick with nice harmonies.
