Currently: "Rock*Punk*Hardcore," a 2004 Repossession Records compilation/sampler, with 2 songs each from 4 of their artists. I picked it up because it was free and because I'd seen lots of visuals of the female-fronted NYC band Slunt and wanted to hear more of their music.

Anyhow, the first half of the album doesn't appeal to me a bit. That probably dates me. The Slunt stuff is OK, and the last 2 cuts by a band called the Fight are decent modern punk, with exception of one spoken word/semi-rap bit in one of the songs, which just sounds silly.

Next up: The Seven Deadly Sins of Sick Dick and the Volkswagens, a local band I was in for about a minte and a half. (I'm not on the CD.)
