Unusual compilation of indie and punk bands with a great mixture of styles - quite a risky approach but works really well. Ive watched many of the bands on here over the years and arguably many of them are every bit diy punk rock in attitude than the major label acts they are a tribute to on this album. Think BBC 6music played a track off this album the other day so looks like the word is spreading.
Def worth buying the album and then checking out a band or two off it.

For under eight quid you won't find a more varied tribute to three of the best bands from the late 1970's. This compilation contains some unusual takes on well known songs as well as carbon copy versions from the Sex Pistols Experience. A mix that works well, definately worth checking out - a snapshot of the musical influences for all the artists involved.

Enjoyed this album some really good tracks on here. You can't really better the originals but some came very close such as The Price's take on English Civil War, Identity covering Silly Thing and Leatherface on Melody Lee.
