DOC HOPPER- "Aloha"


So here's what is probably one of my favorite pop-punk full-length albums ever, by one of my favorite pop-punk bands of the 90's, Doc Hopper. "Aloha" is the band's first LP (1994) and was released themselves on their own, Ringing Ear Records. Ringing Ear put out a bunch of awesome 90's pop-punk gems you'll see popping up every now again on this blog, as I'm a huge fan. Classic east coast pop-punk, melodic & fast. They were from Maine & (later on) Boston. Enjoy this and grab the vinyl somewhere on ebay for cheap. Soo fucking good! One of the best of the 90's, get on this shit. Dudes also played/play in: Sinkhole, Groucho Marxists.

ALLERGIC TO BULLSHIT- Everything.

Photobucket
Ahhh yes...at the request of one of Dead Broke Rekerds' most loyal homies, (Thanks Jeff!) I bring to you the almighty ALLERGIC TO BULLSHIT!... one of my favorite bands ever. Featuring the great Ivy, Erick Lyle (Iggy Scam), Greg Harvester & Cinque who have played in D.I.Y. punk greats such as: CHICKENHEAD, LOS CANADIANS, MIAMI, ONION FLAVORED RINGS, BLACK RAINBOW & countless others. The first record was a 7" EP entitled, "You and Me, This Is What We're For..." and was released on one of S.F.'s best labels, Left Off The Dial Records. The 2nd 7" was also an EP, "Train I Ride", and was on one of my favorite labels ever, Bloomington's Half Day Records (ran by Matte from Giant Bags Of Weed/Leg/Landlord)! Both records are out of print and I hope the songs are released again in some way shape or form some day. (I've tried!) Because A.T.B. truely is and was some of S.F.'s finest DIY punk rock!

SLEEPASAURUS- "It's All Written Down And I Still Don't Feel Any Better"



Next entry is an album I hold dear to my heart... One of the best and most unheard pop-punk albums ever from the 90's, Long Island's own, SLEEPASAURUS! These guys were around in the 90's and released a plethora of 7" EPs and splits on tons of labels from CREEP to Motherbox Records. Motherbox actually re-issued this album on CD pretty recently, so you can still get a new copy. The 12" LP is still available as well. These songs of fast-paced, energetic pop-punk about growing up and living life are defintely some of the best of the genre. This also remains one of my favorite full-lengths ever, especially to come outta Long Island. A dude or two from this band went on to play in Radio 4, which is not so good. Anyway, You can still buy the CD/LP and some of the 7"s HERE.

GREENSLEEP s/t CD + 7".

This includes the split 7" with Scarab & the Self-Titled CD on Alone Records, which is truly one of my favorite albums ever. This album was an important part of Long Island punk for me. This is Alone Records number four. Split 7" w/ Scarab on Motherbox Records. Good old melodic, East Coast jawbox/hellbender type pop-punk with great lyrics. This is one of the most criminally underrated albums ever and is a true lost gem... Listen for yourself. -Mike
