Vans Warped Tour 2004 – Review

March 7, 2005

A compilation of the studio-recorded songs from the bands that were featured on the tour. I’m assuming they did at some point play these songs live.

Punk-O-Rama – Volume 9 – Review

March 7, 2005

Longest-running series, and a good value. They’re getting harder to discern from each other and the Warped Tour comps, but there’s always a surprise or two.

Rock Against Bush – Vol. 1 – Review

October 4, 2004

Social Distortion, The Offspring, and Jello Biafra with DOA are called up from the reserves. Stalwarts NOFX, Pennywise, and Anti-Flag provide dutiful service.

Pennywise – From The Ashes – Review

Epitaph keeps the bands they’ve got (minus one) and picks up wave after wave of the best young hopefuls, most of whom deserve it.

February 22, 2002

Theologian (finally) joins the label sampler crew with Bits & Pieces, a 25-song sampler containing rare/out-of-print tracks.

April 1, 2001

18 songs, almost an hour’s worth of Pennywise live, you guessed it, at the Key Club in Hollywood, CA.
