I have had a love affair with Lookout! Records' back catalog for the past 15 years.

Kid Dynamite
Descendents
Gorilla Biscuits
Merauder
Bouncing Souls

If you are not familiar with those bands, please do yourself a favor and go to your local Mom & Pop record store and pick up a record from any of them. All are flawless.
