The footage looks
swell, and the audience is in every shot, which adds plenty of local color
and action to the proceedings. It sounds about as good as a punk band in a
pizza parlor ought to, and as an extra, there’s a bonus CD of the show.
Take it with you next time you’re out for a slice, and start your own punk
rock riot.

Blistering
live set from SoCal snotpunk kings the Smut Peddlers. The setting
is a pizza place, the crowd is full of troublemakers and drunkards, the
bouncer dude is kept quite busy, the band is surly (“Go experiment with
your Ipod over there, ok?”), and the hits keep comin’. The
Peddlers’ sound is classic asshole-punk, with ripsaw junkie guitars and
bile-fueled vocals. Dig two-minute rants like “Fuck You…That’s Why”
and the hilarious “Get Off the Phone” (“Get off the phone/ I
need the phone!”) for two classic examples. It’s hard not to like these
guys, unless you own the pizza parlor. Or if they wrote any of these songs
about you.
