This Is Your Establishment

Editor's Review:

Here is a collection which remains true to the spirit of the punk compilation tradition. Beginning with “Man of the Year,” a sunshine-y track from Dynamite Boy, heading into Autopilot Off’s cover of Bad Religion’s “Generator” and then into Good Riddance doing a cover of Black Flag’s “My War” on track eight, this compilation shows itself to have more potential than you ever did. This Is Your Establishment brings new music to a genre which refuses to grow old, and which has maintained a high level of variety within its own paradigm for many years. If you like punk rock, the odds are good you’ll like this one.

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.
