Ramones-inspired ditties stemming from ’50’s prom songs and juvenile delinquent movies are present, but these diverse bands show a wide range of vocal styles.
Lookout Records is now a shadow of its former self, while I’m listening to Enslaved and getting closer and closer to giving up on “pop-punk” altogether.
If you think punkpop has driven every worthwhile idea into the ground, there are songs here so catchy and peppy you can’t help but dance around like a fool.
Lookout! Freakout has some really bright, fresh bands that remind me of borrowing my parent’s car to go to the lake, the amusement park, the movies, whatever.
A sampling of every record (including 7″s and EPs) Lookout! released in 1997. Gives you a pretty good understanding of where Lookout! is coming from these days.
