Title: The Spits – The Spits (3rd Album)Year/Genre: 2003, PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: A 2000s garage-punk staple in the post-KBD/bootleg era—fans were hunting “dumb fast punk” through message boards, zines, and small distro catalogs.

Title: Various Artists – Repo Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)Year/Genre: 1984, Punk / New Wave / SoundtrackCondition: New Cultural Facts: Cut like a punk “sampler” for mall record stores—helped smuggle L.A. hardcore and post-punk into mainstream distribution without radio.

Title: Dropkick Murphys – The Warrior’s CodeYear/Genre: 2005, Celtic PunkCondition: New Cultural Facts: Title track is for boxer Micky Ward; the band used it in fight-week culture and it became a walkout staple.
