Punkzilla is to Nitro as the Victory Style series is to Victory Records: a cheaply-priced showcase of the label’s most popular artists mixed with their newest bands’ releases, and a few previously unreleased tracks to boot. Three of the 20 songs are by AFI, and though I’m not into them like I once was, I did enjoy them. There are some songs by Ensign, a couple by The Damned, Guttermouth (blah), The Vandals, and even two tracks by Nitro head honcho Dexter’s band, The Offspring.
