I heard of Schleprock from my brother. He said it was his favorite CD. When I saw it "used" i decided what the hell...and bought it without ever hearing anything from the band. This is one of the best Cd's in my collection. Not only does it have catchy tunes and good beats, it has well written lyrics. I reccommend you all buy it.

the 1st time i heard suburbia on mtv a few years back i didn't really like it.i said to myself it was just another punk band on a major label trying to get the money and fame.i was really blown away from what i heard when my friend decided to buy the album a few weeks later.this is one hell of a punk album.suburbia wan't played much on tv or the radio(thank god cause it was a catchy song and would have hit big back when it came out in the ska comeback era in 96-97)this band has some really good lyrics to go with their in your face punk.the title track is possible one of the best songs i've heard in a while.the lyrics are political and have a good anti-rascism theme to some of them.they also cover cock sparrer's runnin' riot and do a very good job of covering it too.so if you've seen this album or heard suburbia(i like it alot know that i know what schleprock's about and the lyrics are very good on it too)and think they are just another money/fame hungry band well you'll be surprised to find that untrue,i did.by the way,where is schleprock these days?did they break up?-jason

do not let the name fool you. these guys can rock.play it once and you want more to make sure that you heard what you heard the first time through.they also put on a decent live show.check it out.

This band got me hooked, fast. I was unsure about picking it up at first because I always get fooled into buying bad cds that look like they'd be good. Picking this up was not a disappointment. Somewhat reminding me of H2O in ways they just kept me into it the whole time through. If you are unsure about this, just do it, get it. You can get it for as low as a god damned penny. Pick it up. Your bound to at least enjoy some of it.

This is one of my favorite punk CDs. It's very Clash influenced. Just buy it. It should be way more expensive cause it's incredible music.

I was just writing mainly to tell people that schleprock did break up however like 7 months later doug and dirty ernie from schelprock have formed Generators
http://www.the-generators.com/thegenerators/Home.html

there's their official site and should not be missed especially if you liked schleprock and you have to definitely be a fan of punk to appreciate a lot of generators stuff.

This cd blows. the only good song on this cd is there cover of
NORDIC THUNDER'S Runnin Riot.

This is not good. This band tried to make every song a hit with some type of hook that the whole song revolves around, but it doesn't work. The lyrics are all things heard before and the music is weak even when turned up to the maximum. I guess they were trying to be like Green Day, but they sound nothing like them, and there's no punk attitude here at all. No wonder these guys totally disappeared from the scene after scoring a minor hit with "Suburbia," the only decent track on this album.
