I remember the first time I heard Plow United. They were just going by Plow and no one really knew who they were. They were just three guys coming up from the Lehigh Valley to play some punk for us kids.

Little did I know that I was about the witness the greatest band in the history of Pennsylvania.

Just imagine the Ramones playing about three times faster than their fastest song, but playing with much more intensity and passion and writing songs that actually meant something and you got Plow United.

Narcolepsy is their final and possibly best album. Remixed and remastered to sound better than ever plus additional bonus tracks. This is must own of any punk fan.

Although this record is not quite as astounding as "Goodnight Sellout", it certainly holds its own among the more creative (albeit messy) punk rock bands out of the late 90s. They have a sound all their own - somewhere between punk rock, rockabilly (I use this term sparingly), and an indie rock vibe that somehow penetrates the loud, screamy chaos that is Plow United. Scoop this up before it fades into the level of obscurity that makes it impossible to find -- they deserve more recognition than that, but there is something to be said about being part of the 'select few' that were lucky enough to be exposed to this band while they were around. Legendary is a fitting description.
