Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Writer-director James Merendino's film about two punk rockers living amid the strait-laced society of Salt Lake City features a soundtrack that includes all the usual suspects. Early punks the Stooges, starring a ripe and ready Iggy Pop, deliver their "1969" classic, and the Velvet Underground, starring a jaded Lou Reed, handle "Rock and Roll." Second-generation punks include Fear and, of course, the Ramones. As expected, several pretenders to the punk throne make an appearance: Generation X, with a young, eager Billy Idol, clotheshorse Adam Ant, and the Exploited. Rescuing things in prime form are the Dead Kennedys and the often overlooked Adolescents, a Southern California punk band who understood how to write 'em concise. Modern-day punks the Suicide Machine contribute Joe South's "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" with typically cheeky flair. The Big Chill for '80s punks. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars SLC Punk Sndtrk - Missing Songs, July 25, 2002

By A Customer

Someone wrote a review and mentioned some missing songs from the soundtrack that were in the movie, and couldn't figure out what the name or band was that did one of the songs. I don't know if this helps but the name of the song you're looking for is "Gangster" and it was done by The Specials. It was the scene where Heroin Bob and Steve-O are trying to get beer but the cop calls for an officer to follow them because he knows they are "Going to be trouble" as Steve-O says, and Bob and Steve-O get into a fight with the redneck cops. The next scene where Steve-O, Bob, and their friend are driving to Wyoming is "Beat My Guest" Hope that helps!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Soundtrack, June 8, 2005

By	Brandon Fitch "Paradigm Shifter" (Vancouver, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great soundtrack from a great movie.

To answer some questions below, The song from the scene in which eddie, bob, and stevo are in the car is 'Beat my Guest' by Adam and the Ants. A great song, sadly it is missing from the soundtrack.

The soundtrack is also missing the Minor Threat song, 'Someday You'll look back and Laugh,' another great song.

Despite missing those two songs, this soundtrack is still 5 stars.

To answer the earlier question of what song is put on after Bob takes out the rush tape at the end of the movie, the song is Kiss Me Deadly by Generation X
