Dragging The Lake

Editor's Review:

Atticus is not a band, nor is it a record label. It is a clothing company. However, it is the name on the hearts and minds and shirts of a generation of suburban, high school, lip ringed, soccer rockers, and Dragging The Lake is as good of a primer on the music of this scene as could be asked for. The Starting Line, New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World, Alkaline Trio, Blink 182, Glass Jaw and many others contribute a track to this 24 song sampler, which as compilations go, is a damn good CD. The previously unreleased Alkaline Trio track "Jaked On Green Beers," is my personal fave, although Finch and The Movielife also contribute pretty decent cuts.

Sugarcult
Bio[+]
With catchy choruses, amped performances and a shamelessly poppy approach to punk rock, Santa Barbara’s Sugarcult has been performing their aloof and bouncy music since forming in 1998. Vocalist / guitarist Tim Pagnotta apparently named the group after his neighbors; seven lesbians who referred to themselves as the ‘sugar cult.’ With bassist Airin Older and drummer Ben Davis providing harmonies and Marko 72 (expatriate of The Ataris, Swingin' Utters and Nerf herder) on guitar, the group has received national exposure through 2001’s Warped Tour, supporting bands such as Blink 182, Unwritten Law and Good Charlotte on national tours, and The Decibel Music Conference in Trinidad, West indies in May of 2001. Their Ultimatum debut, Start Static was released in August of 2001 and was produced by Matt Wallace.

Avoid One Thing
Autopilot Off
Bio[+]
This group sits comfortably in the pop-punk genre, finding solace in their honest, hard, fast and melodic music. Originally formed in Orange County New York, the band quickly developed their material, cementing their line-up in the winter of 1998. Doing what they love, they played every show and tour at their disposal. Their debut release Looking Up (recorded for the NY based Fastmusic Internet lable) earned them the opportunity to play with the likes of MXPX and The Get Up Kids. They have played The Vans Warped Tour several times, and recently signed up with Island Records, releasing a self-titled five song EP in April of 2002.

Finch
the Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Bio[+]
Since forming in 1985, the group has been playing their own hybrid of hardcore and ska while keeping up a touring regiment of nearly 300 shows a year. Since their first album (1990’s Devil’s Night Out) the group has undergone several line-up changes but has remained an eight-piece band (including one member, Ben Carr, whose role in the group is dancing on stage during performances...Nice gig). The suit-clad band mixes humor with politics, one of their primary causes being the fight against racism. They appeared as the opening act on the 1995 Lollapalooza tour, and have been a part of The Vans Warped Tour for many years. Their 1997 break-through single “The Impression That I Get,” (from Let’s Face It) scored them national acclaim, expanding their fanbase from their grassroots audience that they had acquired through relentless touring.
