Cheeky


Choke On A Cheeseburger

A primarily female band from New York City, Cheeky should fit in nicely for fans of The Measure or This Is My Fist, but by no means is this a copycat band. Cheeky do their own thing. Top that with a twenty-year-old New Yorker girl or two screaming at you, and how could you refuse?

The Jim Carroll Band


Catholic Boy

Jim Carroll expressed the Bomb-fear anticipation, the optimistic nihilism and glittering darkness of the 1980s that could not be otherwise communicated. The band's success can be attributed to the powerful combination of pure rock 'n' roll with Carroll's poetic sensibility and ability to write from his own experience. He has recorded with the likes of Pearl Jam, Rancid, Lou Reed, Danny Barnes, and John Cale. 'Catholic Boy' is now considered one of the last great punk albums and is a must have in your collection.
