| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | The seventh installment in Epitaph Records' ongoing series of budget-priced punk samplers, Punk-o-Rama, Vol. 7 presents another 19 songs from as many bands, all offering their own variations on the state of the fast/loud thing. If you're looking for a dizzying variety of sounds and styles here, well, you're out of luck -- most of what's here is standard-issue new-school punk, heavy on the anthemic melodies married to lyrics which are either emphatic of funny depending on the artist, though pretty much every band on board is good at what they're doing. The relative veterans offer many of the most memorable moments, especially Rancid and NOFX covering one another and Bad Religion carrying the flag for smart, muscular punk, but the International Noise Conspiracy, Division of Laura Lee, and Beatsteaks (among others) make it clear Epitaph has plenty of interesting bands of more recent vintage to draw from as well. If it isn't brilliant from front to back, Punk-o-Rama, Vol. 7 is at least a strong and consistent sampler and offers plenty of bang for a six-buck list price. Value for money -- now that's punk rock. ~ Mark Deming | | If it's summer and the Vans Warped Tour is rolling around, then it must mean the folks at Epitaph have unreleased PUNK-O-RAMA 7 on the world. As has been the case so many times in the past, this budget-priced punk sampler goes hard and fast at the genre's fans with a mix of a mix of So-Cal legends (Bad Religion, Pennywise), Bay Area stalwarts (Rancid, NOFX) and one outfit representing the Garden State (Bouncing Souls). For less than the price of a movie ticket, fans get treated to the double-timing tempo, choppy riffs and sing-along urgency of Celtic roughnecks Dropkick Murphys, major label refugees Guttermouth and aggro-rock punks Death By Stereo. | | Foreign bands keeping things interesting are Swedish socialists The International Noise Conspiracy (an anthemic "Up For Sale"), fellow Swedes Randy (pop-punk nugget "Addicts Of Communication") and Germans Beatsteaks (a roaring "God Knows"). Still the collection to beat, PUNK-O-RAMA 7 continues to be part of a tradition that's become the measuring stick for all punk anthologies to be measured by. |
