Western Addiction - 'Charged Words’
Western Addiction - Charged Words by RockSoundMagazine
"I never understood why this band didn’t sell more copies. I think it’s one of the best hardcore records since the 80’s and its for sure the best hardcore Fat’s ever put out. It sounds like hardcore use to sound before metal bands hijacked the name."
Tony Sly - ‘Already Won’
Tony Sly - Already Won by RockSoundMagazine
"Tony Sly has always written some of the best melodies on Fat. He’s one of the only songwriters that I get bummed at because I wished I woulda thought of that before he did. I’ve listened to his solo album at least 50 times."
Snuff - ‘Ye Olde Folke Twat’
Snuff - Ye Olde Folke Twatte by RockSoundMagazine
"There’s too many fucking good Snuff songs. This is one of my faves."
Dead To Me - 'X'
DeadToMe - X by RockSoundMagazine
"I like Dead To Me because they’re real skinny."
Real McKenzies - ‘My Mangy Hound’
Real McKenzies - My Mangy Hound by RockSoundMagazine
"One of the most underrated bands on the label. These guys are the real deal. They are true fucking drug-addicted ketamine-shooting speed-smoking coke-snorting drinking-vodka-as-soon-as-they-wake-up-punk-rockers that have been playing way before the Dropkick Murphys ever thought about even starting a band. I can’t even bring these guys on tour with NOFX cuz none of us can handle them. Their last two records are great, and this is just a song that I like a lot."
