Warped Tour 2003 Compilation

Editor's Review:

The Vans Warped Tour — the annual traveling musical orgy of all things semi-punk — has certainly been more sucessful than anyone could have imagined. The melodic brand of punk that it was origianlly built to showcase has become the rock sound du jour of late; the commercial success of Warped Tour alums such as Good Charlotte, Blink 182 and New Found Glory have cemented the transformation of The Warped Tour from a fringe musical festival to a bona fide mega-bucks affair.
This CD — a sampler featuring 52 of the bands slated to appear on this year’s Warped Tour — is a combination of a few different types of bands: new school punk acts who were there before Warped Tour and will probably be around after (Less Than Jake, NOFX, Lagwagon, U.S. Bombs, Face to Face), more mainstream bands lured by the possibility of massive exposure (Glassjaw, Andrew W.K., Simple Plan) and bands who hope that a stint on the Warped Tour will help fulfill their destiny as the “next big thing” (Thrice, Posion the Well, Taking Back Sunday, Coheed and Cambria, etc). Also included are cuts by the always adorable Rufio, No Use For A Name, Swingin’ Utters, Bouncing Souls, Dropkick Murphys, Yellowcard, Useless I.D., Slick Shoes, Mest, Audio Karate and basically more goddamn new school punk bands than you can shake a stick at. If this type of music is at all interesting to you, this sampler is bound to make your pop-punk heart beat with sheer joy.
