I don’t know who any of these bands are on this free sampler from No Idea Records.

But thats a good thing because I can find some new bands to check out. This compilation features 34 tracks from punk bands that appeared at the Fest festival down in Gainesville, Florida. The Fest 7 happened at the end of October but not sure if these bands actually appeared at the Fest or not. I know the Fest 7 had an impressive lineup but none of those bands appear on this comp.

What I really like about this compilation besides it being completely free on No Ideas website, is the quality of the bands. Sure, we may not know any of these bands but at least the music kicks ass! The Fest 7 comp. reminds me of the comps growing up where it had all these bands on it for a low price. Then I would go out and buy the CDs of bands I liked. I think thats the main goal of No Idea Records and Fest 7. If youre the least bit interested in punk rock music, this compilation is available here: http://thefestfl.com/fest7/download. Get it while you can!

Bottom Line: Great mix of punk rock bands!
Notable Tracks: Music from Hometeam, Dear Landlord, Off With Their Heads
