I Wanna Be a Punk'n'Rolla

(Wolverine Records)

Fires rage here. The 35 combos participating render contrastive voicings that include Ramones-sleek projectiles, (slightly) more orthodox formulations, and even banjo-and-accordian-augmented Celtic romps. Shared by those dissimilar vernaculars is a spiritedness that both animates performances and transfixes listeners, none of whom are likely to wander given such judicious variegation. Agitation in any language.

Recommended: "A New Plan" (Psychotic Youth), "She Is Dead" (The Bullocks), "One Day, One Night" (Tiger Rouge), "Ode To Joey" (Mr. Bubble B.), "Gotta Go Out Tonight" (The Cable Bugs), "Fuck the Fiends!!!" (Dead United), "Moonshiners" (The Feelgood McLouds), "Golden Days" (Rather Raccoon), "Suicide Girls" (Johnny Rocket), "Eve Champagne" (Jamie Clarke's Perfect), "Take a Ride" (The Booze Brothers), "Bootleggers" (Bastards On Parade)
