Star Fucking Hipsters
From The Dumpster To The Grave
Fat Wreck Chords
2/10
Oh, shut up. “From the Dumpster To The Grave?” REALLY? You would think that after a few decades, the socially-conscious arm of the punk movement would have something new to offer. But, I guess we’re stuck with the same contrived, cliche bullshit that does nothing to forward any kind of change towards the system that SFH loves to bitch about. Yes, yes, “the system,” “the Vietnam War,” “bitching about Christianity,” I GET IT. At least the riffs are decent, so if you zone out the lyrics, it ain’t THAT bad. Thirteen tracks of fast-paced moaning ska-punk does nothing to instill a sense of passion in me, except maybe to take a shower. Which probably makes me a fucking sell-out.
