On Gang Green’s debut 7″, released in 1984, Chris Doherty screams on the song “Sold Out”: “There’s one easy way to get that money — give the fucking people what they want!” Well, this is it. One R-rated hour — and 31 songs — of punk rock goodness from the class of ’77 through ’80s hardcore and beyond. Bands include the Angry Samoans (pictured), The Dils, Zero Boys, T.S.O.L. Gaunt, The Saints, Dag Nasty, The Dickies, Flipper, Bad Brains, X-Ray Spex, Big Boys, Descendents, D.O.A., UK Decay, Black Flag, and lots of obscure and forgotten gems. If you’re feeling the tension of the upcoming election, loosen up with this batch of chaotic fun.
