yes this is not a record by a washed up metal head doing blues named.... this is the Badlands from Holland. The guys revies above is correct this is not 'greenday'. This is street punk not 'watered down punk'. apparently he thinks 'watered down punk' is punk devoid of green days lameness.This is a good album. In the vein of beltones, higher production w/ *gasp* good vocals. Hearing a singer w/ vocal ability in this genre takes some getting used to, but I think I may like it. Check it out.
