Common Riders

Last Wave Rockers

Panic Button

All Operation Ivy fans will be very interested in this. It’s the re-emergence of Jesse Michaels! Jesse sings and plays guitar on some good reggae/ska/rock with members of Squirtgun and Screeching Weasel. The Common Riders don’t display the same Energy as Op. Ivy, but they do get kinda Hectic on some songs like “Classics of Love” and “On Broadway.” The lyrics are always inspiring, but the Op. Ivy fans are going to miss the snarled vocals. The songwriting is catchy and on most songs rocks. Go get it.

Panic Button, P.O. Box 148010, Chicago, IL 60614
