Search - Various Artists :: Fat Music 5: Live Fat Die Young

Finally, a Great CD of Original Songs

"This is a great example of unrealeased trackdom. Here we have all the mainstays of Fat laying down fat tracks that we so desperately need to hear. And yet you don't have to lay down fat cash to get ahold of them. If you like Blink 182, you need to get this cd because this label is the main progenitor of the pop punk sound. And oh what a sound it is. Here we have two of my personal favorites, Bracket and Wizo. Wizo is a German band, but sings mostly in English. The melodies are amazing, and who cares if this particular song's in German anyway. I bought all their cd's from Germany for crying out loud. But seriously, the chick band on here is pretty sweet too, Fabulous Disaster. Kind of like DHC but without the ska influence. If you like them, check out another girlie band, Superchick. Superchick is the best pop punk girliegirl band I have ever heard. Ok ok, I'm done. Laterthere. P.S. Check out poppunk dot com, a great resource for info on pop punk bands that generally do not get much press (which is about 9 out of 10 of them on independent labels)."

Live Fat Die Young punk comp

"Right lets get things straight... This is one of the best punk comps about. For only a few bucks or quids as I come from the UK(home country of punk.)you get absolutely brilliant tracks from Consumed, Mad Caddies, Snuff, Lagwaggon and Me First And The Gimme Gimmies.
Definitely one for the Fat collection. If this is your first punk comp I reccomend you get survival of the fattest but If you are into Fat punk Go Get It."

Best Punk Comp Yet

"I definatly agree that Vol. 5 is the best Fat Wreck Punk Comp yet. This CD has been playin in my car non-stop for weeks. I only took it out cause I just got the Mest CD(really good also). Allison's Disease is a tremendous song, and I also like the Strung Out contribution. I'm very disappointed in the inclusion of Wizo(Dude, the lyrics are in German). Anyway, buy this CD, especially if you own any of the previous Fat comps."
