R.A.F.R.

Volume 3

R.A.F.R.

Dear Lord, here we go…This is a compilation of bands who like to copy other bands. Let’s go down the list; more justice will be done this way than any other feasible method:

The Humpers = corny Ramones with bad singing. Mad Daddys = The Cramps. MotoChrist = Motorhead with snotty punk singer. Weaklings = AC/DC. Superbees = Jon Spencer. Kowalskis = annoying, crappy, Tilt rip-off. 22 more tracks of the same stuff…

What is good here, you may wonder? Not much, people. This is pretty much a compilation for a young, 14-year-old boy who has just discovered “punk” music, who finds anything NOT like Britney Spears good and “threatening.” Does this mean that the “punk” bands on this comp ARE threatening? No, not in any way, shape, or form. This is an hour’s worth of sloppy, boring, and uninteresting punk rock. Go for it, if you’re looking for something to play in the background while you do other things. If you’re looking to be impressed, stay VERY far away from this one!
