Musings of a Punk Rock Father

I'm usually belated on this, but here we go:

Move - Fold Zandura: I don't really care too much for this album; I bought it when I was trying really hard to like Christian music. It's a cross between electronic and alternative, but mostly it doesn;t keep my attention for the duration of the album.

It's A Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock n' Roll - AC/DC: If AC/DC has put out a bad album, I don't know about it. This one is from the album pictured above, and is a must-have for rock n' roll fans.

Devil Behind That Bush - Cramps: The Cramps have almost always put out great psychedalia-swamp-punk-rockabilly. Over a prolific career such as theirs, a band is bound to have some misses, but this 1997 album is a hit in my opinion.

A Hope Unseen - Dogwood: Really one of the better Christian punk bands. Their sound is a bit like Bad Religion, the Descendents, et al.

Judge Harsh Blues - Bassholes: Cool blues-rock band, I think from Ohio. I don't know where or when I got this, but it's really good.

When the Angels Sing - Social Distortion: One of my favorites. I really liked this album, even the overplayed "I Was Wrong." I think the songs are well-written, catchy, and still maintain the country-meets-punk sound of Social D's previous efforts.

Never Die - Dogwood: 2 Dogwood tracks? Hmm. Weird, since I now have over 2800 songs in iTunes (and I still have a few hundred albums left to import). This one comes from my favorite Dogwood album, "More Than Conquerors."

As We Wept - Demon Hunter: Can't believe they showed up again, too. 2nd list in a row.

I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time - The Nomads: Great Swedish rock band, and too bad they languished in obscurity their whole career.

Might He I.D. - DMZ: This band featured Jeff "Monoman" Connelly, who went on to front the Lyres. He was the inspiration for the name of the Estrus Records band, The Monomen, which featured label owner Dave Crider.
