The Gunga Dins - Medio-Core! CD

The Gunga Dins! were a band out of IL in the 90's. I picked this up at megatronix in york, not knowing what it was. I took it home and listened to it and was surprised to hear some really good sloppy pop punk. Next time I went back to Megatronix, I found another copy for 99 cents so I picked it up. I think this was their only pop punk release. I also have a 7" by this band and its some really good thrashcore. I believe after this, they started playing all thrash. This CD is really hard to find so if you want a copy, I have an extra I can sell for $1 or we can trade!

V/A - Better Than Sevens CD

I dont Remember where I got this from. I think I bought this at a commercials show, but like I said, I dont remember. Its a really good comp with punk, ska and a lot of pop punk. I like how each band does 3 or 4 songs. You get a good idea of what the band sounds like. I wish Reinforcement Records was still around. They put out some great releases.

PRESSING INFO: Released in 1999 on Reinforcement Records. You can still get it over at interpunk from a few bucks.

I saw this band at the old 4th street station in Gettysburg. I loved that place. It was sooo much fun. They describe themselves as "grind violence". I would Describe them as thrashcore. 4 songs that go through pretty quick. If memory serves me right, they were from York or red lion PA

PRESSING INFO: I think this was their only release. There was talks about a full length but i don't believe it was ever released. Less than 50 were probably made of this.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Waste My Time
2. Fat
3. Shit Doesn't Just Happen
4. Salad Is Murder

V/A - Punk at 1600 CD (1997)

First off I wanna pimp a site called www.discogs.com. One of my hobbies is being a discographer. You know, trying to catalog every music release out there. To me its a lot of fun. And this site has sooooo many release. I think to this day I have added close to 500 releases.


I honestly do not remember where I got this CD. I have no clue whatsoever. So there goes the history part of it. If you are familiar with plan-it X releases, and the cheap way they do it, thats how this is packaged. It's a great idea, but can be annoying at times. This comp covers pop punk, ska, hardcore and straight up punk. Its a pretty good comp and I've never seen any other release by a lot of these bands. If you can find it for a few dollars, buy it.

PRESSING INFO: Release on Whitehouse Records in 1997. There was 1000 of these pressed.

TRACK LISTING:
1. Scallywagon - My World
2. The Enkindels - Florida Trash
3. Saturday Supercade - Anything is Fine
4. The Dangers - Room 1024
5. Short Millie - 9-5
6. Cherub Scourge - Motivate You
7. Restraint - Thanks for the Inspiration
8. Left Out - Why?
9. Pincushion - Somedaze
10. Railslide - Reminiscence
11. The Dastardlys - I'm Better Than You
12. Slam Impaired - Your Mistake
13. Operation Cliff Clavin - A Bomb and a Plan
14. Peanucle - All Punks Got

Riddlin' Kids - Any Day Now EP CD

Ahhh the Riddlin' Kids. Remember them? I DO! They were a popular power pop / pop punk band that were on mainstream TV for some time. I saw them at the old Champion Ship a few years ago with a stupid bitch I wont name. My car ended up breaking down on rt 15 under the turnpike after that show. Fuck! They played in front of 7 kids. Well 6 if you dont count me. I felt kinda bad cuz I talked to them and they were super nice people. They most love playing music cuz they played with a ton of energy and had a lot of fun. I bought this at the ever famous City Lights Records in State College PA for about $2. I think they are still around as well so go check them out.

PRESSING INFO: 5 track EP release on Aware Records. Which I think is another offshoot label of Sony Music. Probably a few thousand pressed.

TRACK LISTING:
1. See The Light
2. Tell Me Why
3. I Feel Fine
4. Anyday Now
5. It's the End of the World as We Know it (And I Feel Fine)
