Punk-Tober: Millencolin

More punk!! Who would have guessed? Considering that the first two entries this month were different kinds of punk, I thought I'd keep going with another sub-genre: Skate Punk. Millencolin have been labeled as the resident kings of skate punk probably due to their fast driving rhythms, alternative sound, and somewhat goofy lyrical content. The song "No Cigar" was featured in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (one of my PS1 favs) and I was instantly hooked.

Thankfully, Epitaph once again comes through with plenty of free songs for punk aficionados. The albums are For Monkeys with two free tracks, Kingwood with two, Home From Home with three, The Melancholy Collection with two, Pennybridge Pioneers with two, Life on a Plate with three, Same Old Tunes with three, and one from Lozin' Must. There is a lot of great stuff here but you might want to start with Pennybrigde Pioneers and move onto Kingwood, Home From Home, and For Monkeys. The other three albums did not hold up well under the same scrutiny but might be worth checking out all the same.

Sorry for no video this time. The one downside to Epitaph is that they block the embed feature on all of their videos and digging through all the rest of the videos on Youtube isn't worth it when I have a working playlist below! Enjoy!!
