Atticus- Dragging The Lake II

Editor's Review:

Just in time for spring, Atticus — ubiquitous black-shirt provider for the suburban punks of today and corporate front for the evil empire that is Blink 182 — is back with the second installment of their Dragging The Lake complilation series. And whereas the first edition, though a damn good comp, was pretty exclusively bro-core, the latest installment offers a bit more variety. Further Seems Forever, Jets To Brazil, Thrice, Blink, Lagwagon, Taking Back Sunday and Bane are among the 26 artists contributing tracks to this somewhat surprisingly compelling collection of anthems to lip-piercing and shopping at the mall. Variety is indeed the spice of life.

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.
