Iceland has some pretty great metal bands, but this is the first time I’ve heard any Icelandic punk. Not bad!

Oh the late 90’s. On the one hand, 1997 saw Blink 182’s major label debut, Dude Ranch, quickly becoming a hit at frat parties all over North America. Green Day was rabidly pursuing radio rock stardom with nimrod. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes debut, Have A Ball was released, proving that even upper-middle class suburban Karen’s could get behind this “punk” thing that all the kids were talking about.
But all was not lost! 1997 also saw releases like The Dwarves are Young and Good Looking. The Beltones had recently released a solid EP. And of course you have the only album released by Texas Terri & The Stiff Ones.
Again, comparisons to Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics are obvious. Both are unapologetic, in your face, rock and roll. Both often included violence, blood, and nudity. At the time, Eat Shit struck me as a middle finger to all the safe, radio friendly pop-punk that was blowing up at the time. This was raw, this was real.
This is the first time I’ve listened to this album in over a decade and a half, but it’s still a fun listen today. Solid 7/10.
A couple of mine, off the top of my head (in no particular order):
Honourable mention (non-punk)
