Going into ‘Losers Of The Year,’ pretty much the only thing I knew about Chicago punk pioneers Sludgeworth was that it was the side project of Dan Vapid (who was still in Screeching Weasel at the time). This posthumous compilation album was originally released back in 1995 on Lookout! Records and has now gotten a re-release with two previously unreleased tracks as an added bonus.
The 17 songs that make up the album are a mix of melodic punk with a Midwest twist. Think Naked Raygun meets early Face To Face. Every single song on here packs some serious urgency with guitars, drums and vocals all vying for equal amounts of attention. If you are looking for a nostalgic throwback to the sounds of yesteryear, Red Scare and Sludgeworth have got you covered!
