This is a compilation of various singles, 7 inches, and demos the dropkicks have put out before there popular punk rock success. Everywhere I go now I see nothing but Dropkicks stickers, shirts, and sweathshirts. But before that, there were demos and recordings that were hard to find, and out of print until now. All these tracks feature the band’s first singer in Mike McColgan, who quit in 1998. This cd is really good and shows how good the Dropkicks were back just when they were gaining popularity. Some of the tracks on here feature live songs, like a cover of the The Clash’s “Gun of Brixton,” and “Career Opportunities.” Dropkick Murphys fans will definately want to go out and find this one.
