Cabana 1 V/A – Where the fun never sets, Vol2
Cabana 1 V/A – Where the fun never sets, Vol2 - As the days become longer and the nights become shorter it’s time for another Cabana 1 compilation. This time around it’s a 31 song jumble of mostly lesser known pop punk bands from across the world. I love getting these compilations from Cabana 1 because it’s a given that I will find at least one band that I haven’t heard before, but will soon be looking for every bit of music that they have ever made. This time around there was a few of my already favorites The Sheckies, The Challenged, The Rutherford’s, The Annoyers along with a handful of great bands that aren’t necessarily new, but new to me they are; The Side Projects, The Grouches, The Proton Packs and The Headbangers. So the big band that I am now head over heels into are; The Side Projects. What really stands out about them to me is that they have the musical mastership similar to say, Teenage Bottlerocket with perfect back vocals, hand claps, whoa ohs, oh ohs, and every other catchy lyrical hook that you can think of. When you combine all that with a great voice that is reminiscent of say, Moral Crux. Like most large rosters of compilations there are some bands that stand out as great bands, but there are also a hand full of those who are just there. Overall, this compilation has got it all for the pop punksters who can’t get enough of those three chords that the Ramones made famous so many years ago. 4/5 http://www.cabana1records.com/main.html
