Epitaph serves up the fourth edition of their now renowned punk sampler "Punk-O-Rama 4." Showcasing all the favs, and some newbies, to fill out an all around pretty spiffy disc.

Pulling some weight this time around are H20 - "Faster Than The World" off FTTW; Ten Foot Pole - "The Getaway" off Insider; All, Gas Huffer - "Don't Panic" off Just Beautiful Music; NoFx - "Kids Of The K Hole" off So Long And Thanks For All The Shoes; and, of course, the one and only Agnostic Front - "It's My life" off Something's Gotta Give.

Less then impressive cuts include Rancid's "1988," though not surprising since it's off the rather disappointing Life Won't Wait record, Refused - "Summer Holiday Vs Punkroutine" and Tom Waits - "Big In Japan" (man is that song cheesy).

The following bands are either relatively new or I was just a blockhead and missed them somehow. Anyway their tracks were a happy find and worth checking out! 98 Mute - "Picture This." Straight Faced - "Lets Do This," and Osker - "Lucky."

All in all, this disc is a pretty cool pallet of punk and worth trotting down to the old record store and plunking down yer 2 bits. Hey man, the previously unreleased Pennywise song is all the reason you should need!
