This is some of the best damn Punk Rock I’ve listened to in a while. Melon, the second full length release by San Diego’s Jon Cougar Concentration Camp out now on BYO Records, Brings back the feeling of early 80’s SoCal Punk.
It has all the energy, guts, toungue in cheek lyrics and snotty vocals that I like to hear in an album. It is fast paced and melodic. J.C.C.C. takes no prisoners on this one. (no pun intended.) I wasn’t sure whether to go with four or five “UP’S”, but after a couple of listens I really warmed up to the Disc and was thrashing around my living room.
Highlights include “My Favorite Place” “I Ain’t The One” and “You Either Got It Or You Don’t”. Go out and get this CD at your favorite store or visit the BYO Records web site to listen to some sounds of this and their other bands. Support the labels that support you!!!
