(Epitaph)
Punk-O-Rama Vol. 2, the followup to the ever-successful, Punk-O-Rama, is meant to further introduce people to the "sick and twisted world of Epitaph". How true.
This CD should probably be called "Epitaph-O-Rama", as it only gives the listener insight into the punk label's roster, but I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
This album features a host of America's great punk bands, and their "catchy melodic hardcore" sounds. Some of the groups featured are Rancid, Pennywise, NOFX, SNFU, and Bad Religion; most of the popular ones. However, even those already into the hardcore scene will like this, as it features some semi-rarities; the folks at Epitaph decided to make this album better than it already is by including a previously unreleased DFL song, and a track from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (featuring members of NOFX, Lagwagon and No Use For A Name).
All in all, 17 tracks from today's greatest punk bands, it sells for $4 (yeah, that's right, 4 bucks), if you're a new or old punk fan, you'll like it. I know I did.
