Pretty much what you'd expect from the band and album names. Good, fast, old fashioned hard-core. Not easy to find information on, but In On Your Joke is an awesome track and AAA covered it.

Not really a classic, but definately a good album. Reviews call it a cross between Bad Religion and Nofx, but it doesn't seem that similar to me. Pretty standard, slightly pop-punk, catchy.

Always nice to hear a British band these days who aren't trying to sound American. A great CD which unfortunately never caught on in the States despite being on Fat. Great live. Swansea misses them.

Seriously catchy Swedish punk with a rock-and-roll feel to it. Not like The Hives or any other Swedish guff. Sits in my top 5, never gets far from the stereo. Do what you have to to listen to it.

Hard to pick a best album, Failure, Tarball and Ism are also great. Nasty Californian punk about heroin, homophobia, choppers, skateboarding, and (for some reason) Germany.

A must for any Screeching Weasel fan, this has a bit more bite to it than all the other Queers stuff I've heard. Childish pop-punk with snotty vocals and catchy, simple little tunes.

'Melodic Hardcore' maybe? But late 90's style not todays emo screamo toss. Bigwig are an awesome punk band with catchy riffs and sometimes melodic, sometimes shouty vocals. Songs 1,2,3,8,9 are musts

A best-of compiled from all their early albums. Nothing from Everything Sucks onward is included, but that's probably a good thing. This is the Descendents in their original, scene-setting glory.

Back to the ska. This is a mainly instrumental album, with some seriously chilled and catchy ska tracks. With King Django as frontman it's bound to be good.

Noteworthy because the Cd contains one track, 18 minutes long. Changes all the time, never gets boring, and I think a great achievement for the band. Wanted to put F*ck the Kids here but couldn't.
