Published on January 14th 2003

This DVD is all music videos from various punk bands. AFI, Refused, MxPx, Vandals, Ataris, Descendents, and more make up this 21 video DVD.

I'll give you a list of some of the songs I liked on the DVD.

  • All Systems Go - "All I Really Want"
  • Refused - "New Noise"
  • AFI - "Totalimmortal"
  • the Descendents - "I'm The One"
  • Ataris - "San Dimas High School Football Rules"
  • Sloppy Seconds - "Fifteen Minutes or It's Free"


  • Ok, I know All Systems Go is poppy, and I didn't like this song at first either. But after a few listens, it was so catchy I found myself downloading it so I could listen to it more. Well, the AFI video is probably what you would expect. Not their best song, but a good one, and an alright video. The Refused video is spectacular. This was the first time I heard Refused, after that, I was hooked. The video is strange, but good; and the song is great. The Descendents video is kind of weird, it starts off with people standing outside a sperm bank. Good song and alright video though. Again I know the Ataris are poppy, but I had to watch the video since it was called that. I mean, that's a line out of one of my favorite movies, Bill and Ted. I grew to like the song, the video is just them in a room, so, not much going on there. The Sloppy Seconds song is about getting pizza for free if it's not at your house in fifteen minutes. The video is pretty much that too.

    Some of the songs I didn't like were Horace Pinker, The Strike, The Vandal's song was funny, but the video sucked, and the Dwarves song upset me. "Over You" is definitely not their best song.

    Divit's "Just Let Em' Burn" and Movielife's "Single White Female" I'm not real sure about. I kind of like Divit, but Movielife I just can't listen to for too long.

    Pick up this video if you want to see videos by these guys, you sure won't see them on MTV.

      what the fuck is the reviewer talking about? i used to watch mtv2 all the time and i've seen videos by refused, mxpx, the vandals, afi, pennywise, snapcase, international noise conspiracy, and snapcase. and in all but one of those cases the videos i saw were the same ones that are on this dvd.

      Actually, I've seen the "new noise" video a few time on muchmusic here in canada...usually during their "loud" show (which also plays a lot of shitty music).

      And yes, it's an amazing video. If you don't have a DVD player, get Refused's new noise theology ep, which has the video as a cd extra. It's low quality, but it's there, plus 3 other amazing songs.

      That Dwarves song and video are awesome, just my take, but I really like it.

      Sloppy Seconds kick ass. They are one of those bands that never get enough credit. They were one of the best bands on the Nitro label. I hope Coldfront gives them the respect they deserve and I hope they promote their new album properly too.

      Sloppy Seconds? Someone likes them?

      Refused - New Noise is an incredible song with an INCREDIBLE video.

      thats gob, the guys playing soccer with the zombies. I think they won a gemini or a juno for that or something. Cause that matters only in canada.

      probably "Just rock and roll" where they're playing at a bar mitzvah and all sorts of jewish-related shit happens

      My Score:

      New Noise should be an extra on every DVD ever made.

      I don't care what the DVD is about, just slap that video on as a bonus.

      The world deserves it.
