This is a tape about my days in (or skipping) high school. These punk rock anthems are

a) the kind of thing I was listening to back then
b) loud and obnoxious, like I was as a teenager
c) the epitomy of wasting your teenage years
d) some of the most fun songs ever written

It's not all the best music in the world, and it may not all have a message that I identify with currently, but this is the music that saved my life as a teenager. Skipping class and drinking in the park, hanging around in the streets up to no good, petty vandalism, hanging out with the bad crowd, being badder than the bad crowd, I thought I was so bored but I look back now and I really did have fun. These are the songs that were so important to my school days. These are songs about growing up in a shithole, being stuck in school, having no prospects and nothing worthwhile but your friends. These are the songs I blasted on my walkman stoned out of my mind wandering through the hallways of my school. Funnily enough, I didn't put the song I got the title from on it, but that's an Anti-Nowhere League song that I cruised around in many a stolen parents car to:)

As for the track information, all of these are really old so in most cases I haven't given the vinyl information, but the reissue CD info. Enjoy! Usually I tend to make really sad mix tapes but I had a ton of fun doing this one. It was great to pull these out and listen to them again. This mix is super high energy and will make you feel like a reckless kid.
