Viva La Vinyl Volume #4 (2001 Dead Beat Records)



Maybe because the Viva La Vinyl series got watered down as time went on, or maybe because by 2001 my level of awareness of the punk scene was fading, but I only recognized a couple of these bands. Definitely more of a garage / sleaze punk direction than the early scuzzy pop-punk focus of the series.

1. Snake Charmers - Soul In The Gutter
2. Puffball - Midnight Frolics
3. The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs - 3 Chords And An Attitude
4. Cock Spaniels - Siren Alarm Sounds
5. T.V. Killers - So Fake
6. The Flash Express - I'm Leaving
7. The Gee Strings - Drank A Lot
8. The Vultures - Roller Rhouse
9. Nikki Sudden - Aeroplane Blues
10. Geriatrix - I Wanna Eat Your Face
11. The Dialtones - All Night Long
12. The Hellbenders - The 99's
13. Valentine Killers - Drunk Again
14. Hellride - Headin' For Hell
15. Bonecrusher - For Freedom

  1. Not the greatest comp, but pretty representative of the prevailing sound of new punk music at the turn of the century, as i remember. Worship of the Stooges, AC/DC, Dead Boys, Van Halen, etc.

  2. Yes! The first one had bands like J Church, Krupted Peasant Farmerz, Trusty, etc.

    I was living in Portland, OR when this came out, lots of people into the garage/sleaze punk stuff there, including bands on this comp.
