I'm not going to say that I have a thing for circa-"turn of the millenium" punk samplers, but I'm not not going to say it, either.
This one came to us from Switzerland, by way of a seller in San Diego, who may have gotten it via Suburban Home Records, then someone who probably received it in some mailorder sometime in the past 20+ years. It has a sampling of the finest names of the era: "Very Emergency"-era Promise Ring, one of my favorite Hot Water Music cuts, the same from the Get Up Kids. There are those who I liked in small does (Sarge, the Anniversary) and those who I avoided wherever I could (Lagwagon, Useless ID). Then there is the vanguard of the early aughts pop punk explosion: New Found Glory, Alister, and No Motiv.
Truth be told, I dropped the buck on this because there was a Tugboat Annie track that I didn't already own. Totally worth it.
