I remember buying this when it came out. And I mean the original pressing before Fat wreck chords brought it out. Snuff have always been the forerunners of the underground british Punk scene. This is recorded with their original line-up, before they got back together and signed to Fat Wreck chords. Maybe that is the problem here. American kids aren't going to get this. It isn't "strung out" or "no use for a name". These are pretty much all covers. The "jingles" are covers of songs from 80's tv advertisements. Course american kids aren't going to get it, and it is reflected in these reviews. If you are into 80's punk, with a more raw sound, then give this a go. If you ar ebritish an din your 30's, you will recognise the jingles, and I am sure they will bring a smile to your face, although if you are of that age and into old school punk, I can't see how you would have missed early Snuff releases.

Pop punkers will probably hate this. Don't get me wrong, thes are are real sing along songs, but being British, I am sure I wouldn't find it amusing to hear American Punk bands covering jingles from the 80's.

If you like to yell along to songs, then you're definately going to like this 8 song album of covers. Lots of guitars and lots of singing. These guys play fast and they sing loud AND in key. It's good music plain and simple. Stand out songs for me are Rods & Mockers and Do Nothing.

Yes, it's another EP of mostly Snuff covers. Though this was released by Fat Records in 1996, it was actually originally released in 1990. Fun for the fans, but non-essential for anyone just getting into the band, though Snuff are indeed known for their cover tunes.

As for the covers:
2) Do Nothing, The Specials
4) Can't Explain, The Who
6) Reach Out, The Four Tops
7) Hazy Shade Of Winter, Simon & Garfunkel
9) City Baby Attacked By Rats, GBH
8) and 10) are commercial jingles

Start with the proper albums first, then work your way to stuff like this and Potatoes & Melons (a latter-day covers EP).

I really do like snuff but i would go far enough to give this cd 1 star as it's just alot of covers and TV advertisments (which are the most annoying things in the world ever anyway) all bunched up together i listened to it once then sold it, word of advice buy any other snuff records just skip this one (the humours even tame).
