Rock Against Bush Vol. 1

Editor's Review:

We know you hate Bush, and we know you like music, so the only question here is do you have room for one more CD in your tiny cubicle of a room? The bands on this compilation - most, but not all of which are punk groups -intend this release as a unified outcry against the policies of the current administration. Musically, it is varied and well composed, and most of it is previously unreleased. Standout tracks include the turbulent opener by None More Black, an addictively catchy Alkaline Trio number, an early Offspring recording (presumably aimed at the first Bush administration and still applicable), a retro ’80s tune from the Epoxies and others along with the obligatory political ringer from NOFX. The disc also comes with a separate DVD documentary on the much-disputed inner wiring of the Iraq war. Don’t get arrested with it.

Bio[+]
New school heroes Sum 41 may be neophytes in the world of music at large, but having honed their blend of pop punk melodies and hip-hop rhythms since the group’s 1996 inception in Toronto (purportedly 41 days into the summer between their junior and senior years in high school), they have quickly risen among the ranks of similar skate rock purveyors. Consisting of Derick Whibley (Bizzy D) and Dave Baksh (Brown Sound) on vocals and guitar, Steve Jocz (Stevo 32) behind the drums and Cone McCaslin (Cone) on bass guitar, this group sets themselves apart from the throngs of fellow new schoolers through their exceptional live energy and uncontainable stage presence. After signing to Island records in 1999 and releasing the Half Hour of Power EP the following year, the group toured in support of musical authorities Blink 182, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Offspring and Social Distortion. Their Jerry Finn-produced full-length, All Killer, No Filler, was released in 2001, and the metal-tinged follow-up, Does This Look Infected? is slated for release in late November, 2002.
