Synic Selects Vol. I - Punk Edition

Hey guys, I know I just posted a new record review yesterday, but with COVID-19 keeping everyone locked in their homes all day every day, I'm getting bored out of my fucking mind and needed to do something with my time. Plus, tomorrow I'll be hitting my second week running this blog so I thought why not do something sort of fun to celebrate that?

Anyway, here's a new concept I came up with, where I give you guys a playlist of songs, ranging from some of my favorite jams to just whatever I happen to be listening to at the time that I want you guys to check out. I don't own the rights to any of these songs, so I won't be posting them here, you'll just have to find them yourself if you're interested. I would have made a Spotify playlist if I was a supporter of streaming services, but alas I am not. I buy physical. - I'm not a dinosaur, I just believe the artists deserve to be paid for their work.

For this first edition I wanted to throw some punk songs together, because I think everyone is feeling a little anti-government lately, and one of the best genres for shitting on the man is punk. This was a fun list to throw together, hope you guys give it a listen and tell me what you think.

So without further introduction, here it is.

Synic Selects Vol. I - Punk Edition

1. Back In The USSA - Barb Wire Dolls

2. California Uber Alles - Dead Kennedys

3. Pretty Vacant - Sex Pistols

4. Jennifer Lost The War - The Offspring

5. Sign Of The Crab - Evil Stig

6. Rise Above - Black Flag

7. We're Only Gonna Die - Bad Religion

8. Guilty Of Being White - Minor Threat

9. Beat On The Brat - The Ramones

10. I Fought The Law - The Clash

Bonus: White Punks On Dope - The Tubes

The Tubes were more of a prog rock band in their time, but that last bonus track is just something fun I tossed in there, because why the hell not? It was one of their more punk-sounding songs, so I thought it was a nice closing track. And this way some of the angrier punk doesn't leave a bitter taste in your auditory mouths, if you're not a fan.

Thanks for checking out Synic Selects Vol. I, stay tuned for Vol. 2, coming sometime in the future.
