As the weather gets colder and wetter, a man's sporting mind moves to hockey. And what better soundtrack than a Canadian, hockey-themed punk rock compilation, fronted by the heretofore-unknown fourth Hanson Brothrer, Johnny?
Released by Wrong Records in 1994, this one features all the mid-80s Canuck luminaries you'd expect to find on a release like this. Joey Shithead makes two appearances; one fronting D.O.A., the other fronting Cub. SNFU stands side by side with NoMeansNo side project Hanson Brothers. The greatest discovery for me was hearing Jughead's "Hockey Song", who sound like Motörhead playing bluegrass, with the attendant fantastic results.
There's a second volume that, if I find it for a less than $5, I'm guaranteed to pick up. Just a real fun time.
