1208

Feedback Is Payback

Epitaph

If you’ve been combing the shelves in your local music store looking for the new punk album that just isn’t coming, on February 26, 2002, that will no longer be the case. South Bay’s notorious for amazing punk (Black Flag, The Descendents, The Circle Jerks, Pennywise), and its newest, 1208, is no exception. Their debut album, Feedback Is Payback, has the intelligence, passion, and attitude that is essential for any successful punk band. Lead singer Alex Flynn practically has punk blood – his mother is the sister of Greg Ginn, who played guitar for Black Flag. His uncle is watching closely, and so far, he should be very proud. Don’t miss “Lies That Lie,” “1988,” and “Speak Easy.”
