I picked this up after hearing that Kung Fu Records had signed on to distribute Stiff Little Fingers' latest, Guitar & Drum, and I wanted to hear another band the label carried. That and I liked the cover. I did not expect to find a disc I would listen to almost every day since. This band is pure energy from start to finish. Next Stop Armageddon captures the raw power of early bands like The Vibrators, The Damned and the Sex Pistols and combines it with a more modern hardcore sound. Musically, the band is very tight and their sound is excellent. Lyrically, you get a band that has something to say and knows how they want to say it. The whole disc is phenomenal but, in my opinion, the stand-outs are "Disconnected Youth", "Power Animal", "Sister", "American Nightmare" and my new favorite sing-along "N.R.A.". If you're looking for a punk album that gets it right, give this one a try, you won't be disappointed.

I bought this cd without listening to it first becuz it was around 2 dollars at a used music store.

I am so happy that i did. This band is great! its so catchy and memorable. You can listen to it over and over and still love the songs.

To put it simply: It rocks \m/

In the days of lackluster and uninspired punk rock music that makes up about 90 percent of the industry this CD is a diamond in the rough. I heard this band from a Tony Hawk videogame, where they were given their fifteen minutes of fame, and bought the CD some years later because it was cheap. Had I known how amazing it truly is, I would have paid more money to get it sooner.

The music here is truly precious. There's versatility and a ton of energy on this record, catchy hooks and driving beats through and through. This band draws influence from all the right bands to craft a sound that cannot be copied or mimicked. It's doesn't makes thinks incomprehensibly fast or heavy to compensate, but it also doesn't fall into the pits of trendy pop-punk hooks. This CD is the real deal. The songs are guarenteed to get stuck in your head all day and the CD will spend a lot of time in your player, I promise. It's just too bad that these guys changed their name and are a totally different sound now Since that means this is all we'll ever see from them, you really have to go out and get this CD.
Highlight tracks are "Power Animal" "Watch it Fall" "NRA" and "Bullets and Batons"

Picked it up just before seeing them open for the Vandals in San Francisco back in Sept. The sound clearly draws on influences from The Clash, and the Sex Pistols with unorthodox rockabilly guitar riffs on several tracks. Catchy melodies, high energy, and good lyrics. Hope they stick around for future releases....
