Happy Meals Volume 3: Songs To Run Away From

Editor's Review:

If Happy Meals Volume 3: Songs To Run Away From can be complimented for anything, it would be its diversity. My Records has succeeded in putting together a 21-song compilation with a great variety of musical genres. Ranging from the synthesized, power pop of The Adventure of Jet's "Drag" to the stripped down, country-influenced sound of Chad Rex and the Victorstands' "Tied Up To Die," there is probably a song on this CD that will appeal to anyone. Other songs that caught my attention were Scott Garth's "Bandit's Ruse," a highly emotive acoustic track and "O-Rama" by Ashtray Babyhead is full of guitar crunching pop energy. This album is a great way to check out bands you might not have heard of before.

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.
