Remember when pop punk was just great simple catchy hooks and songs that kept running around in your head? Not songs that were overproduced and glossy, but powerful, catchy with just enough rawness to break through the pop in those great ways. Well here’s the new Side Walk Slam... For those of you who are into the old"Kerplunk" era Green Day, and a mixture of the Polinatcha/life in general" MXPX era stuff, this disc is for you... 19 + songs of great catchy melodic punk, ranging from fast to faster, to mid-tempo sing alongs.... a must.This recording consists of the Original, Pre Tooth and Nail versions of many songs which appeared on their T&N debut, plus a few additional songs not rerecorded. These are different sessions, and before they signed. Many prefer this to the T&N debut!
