Jesus. Last summer, I actually was willing to pay to go to that sweltering Warped Tour stop in Boston to see some decent bands like Rollins, Rancid, Dropkick, RCR, and some locals. This year, you’d have to pay me to even spend five minutes at a single Warped show. This compilation confirmed why. Do you like retarded shit like The Casualties, The Lawrence Arms, and the Movielife? How about Sum 41, Autopilot Off, or Finch? By all means, go to the Warped Tour and enjoy the $5 bottled water and crappy music. And be sure to pick up this compilation.
