Fifteen

Choice Of A New Generation (Acoustic Demos)

Fifteen were a punk band from the east bay California formed by Jeff Ott following the break up of his previous band, Crimpshrine.
I just recently found these acoustic demos on my old computers hard-drive. They are beautifully clear recordings that create a very nostalgic feeling, even if you were never there.

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.
