Skins & Pins

Various Artists

GMM

Strange compilation of high-mohawked, tattooed, and pierced punk rock. Strange because it’s almost a contest over who can grow the highest, stiffest mohawk – and keep it on stage. It’s a veritable KISS convention of oi-based punk rock, I say!

You get to hear the Ducky Boys, the Murder City Wrecks, the Reducers, Lower Class Brats, the Working stiffs, the Dropkick Murphys (oi!), the Stray Bullets, U.S. Chaos, Man’s Ruin, Major Accident (too Clockwork, dude), the Anti-Heros, and, HOLY FOUR O’CLOCK ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, BATMAN, Disorderly Conduct.

Class-A punk rock all the way around. Twenty-two songs in all, more than enough to bother the old man.

GMM Records, P.O. Box 15234, Atlanta, GA 30333.
