Punk-O-Rama, Vol. 3
(1998)

by
Various Artists
As a promotional device, Punk-O-Rama is above reproach. Cramming over 20 songs from over 20 different artists on Epitaph's roster onto one disc, and then offering it for under five dollars -- well, there's no denying that it's a bargain, even if you're not fond of the music itself. And there's no better way to determine whether you like this aggro ...

Punk-O-Rama, Vol. 5

by
Various Artists
There was a time when five dollars was, at many record stores, the going rate for new albums. That was back in the mid-'70s -- when Epitaph sold its Punk-O-Rama compilations for $4.99 in the '90s and early 2000s, that price was, to use Epitaph's words, "ridiculously cheap." It's called inflation; what was the going rate for new albums in 1975 was ...

Land of the Free?

by
Pennywise
Pennywise themselves are calling Land of the Free "a wake-up call," aimed at the slumbering masses of America -- an attempt to shake people out of their lethargy, and prod them into thinking about the world. It's also a clarion call to action, made most forcibly on "Fuck Authority," via its demand that "it's time we had our say." However, given ...

Straight Ahead

by
Pennywise
Pennywise pulled together impressively after the suicide of Jason Thirsk, as Full Circle proved. Straight Ahead finds them carrying on, turning out an album that rivals its predecessor. In many ways, it's the same album as its predecessor, and that's a problem with traditionalist punk bands in the late '90s: By adhering to their ideals, they leave ...

And the advantage Short Music for Short People has in comparison to the aforementioned ...

Pennywise
On The Fuse, Pennywise retreat a bit from the pointed rhetoric of 2003's From the Ashes. The southern California band has never been passive about its views, and The Fuse isn't either. It just picks wider targets to fire at, perhaps in response to the mania that gripped the scene in the run-up to the 2004 presidential elections. Fat Mike and ...

by
Various Artists
SB1: Skiboarding Journey is designed for skiboarders, snowboarders and skateboardists alike -- in other words, it's a collection of testosterone-fueled hip-hop and punk-metal (mostly punk-metal.) It sure won't appeal to anyone that isn't into the boarding scene (or punk-metal), but those that are into the whole trip will certainly find this to be ...

Pennywise [Bonus Track]

by
Pennywise
At the heart of punk rock's early-'90s rebirth was a crew of California groups who put out their own fast and tight songs with plenty of influence from Bad Religion. Pennywise's self-titled record was one of the better records of this region and period, and its short and sweet anthems are still a great listen. From the unforgettable "No Reason Why ...

It would be inaccurate to say that Epitaph's Punk-O-Rama compilations cater to punk purists 100 percent of the time. Not everything on Punk-O-Rama, Vol. 4, which Epitaph assembled in 1999, is hardcore punk -- some of the material is simply alternative rock with a strong punk influence. But it is safe to say that Vol. 4 is punk-oriented, and it is ...

While it's a great, inexpensive introduction to the label's heavyweights -- Bad Religion, Pennywise, NOFX, Rancid -- and has some classic punk vets that joined the Epitaph roster -- Descendents, T.S.O.L. -- it contains only one previously unreleased ...

On the first listen to Full Circle, it's hard to believe that Pennywise had a founding member commit suicide prior to the album's recording. The record is tough, heavy, hard, and fast, expanding the breakthroughs the group made with 1995's About Time. Listen a little more closely, and there's a newfound pain and pathos on the record that makes ...

The echoing piano melody that opens Pennywise's 1993 effort, Unknown Road, suggests a more thoughtful side to a band known more for raw energy and aggression than introspection. The almost melancholy intro barely winds down before Pennywise launches full bore into the title track with simultaneous fury and accuracy. Pennywise hits a new level of ...
