Music DVD
This page is to review music dvds.Duh!
If you're one of those friendly label people,or have a band with a DVD get in touch(eirepunk04@yahoo.co.uk) same go's for CD's!Thanks.
Circle Jerks-Live At The House Of Blues
The Circle Jerks are legends,plain and simple.Sadly this DVD only features a small amount of their brilliant material,it would take multiple discs to get them all on,but what you have here is some of the best punk rock ever written.Songs like Letterbomb(the opener) are true punk rock songs,packed with a kick and delivered with passion,they don't make 'em like this anymore!Wasted,Beverley Hills and so on all feature,and watching this you can't help but feel this band are massively under-rated.They should be huge,bands this god don't come along very much.Buy this,then buy Wild In The StreetsTrue punk legends,a music DVd collection without this is really missing out

Amp Video Archive For The Ages Vol. 1
I've always loved A.M.P magazine.You pay $2 and get a class magazine,some stickers and at least 1 cd!Score!So when I heard AMP were releasing a DVD,I had to pick it up.I wasn't let down,this DVD is brilliant.Consisting of music videos and live songs by sme brilliant bands who have graced the pages of AMP,and costing just over 7 dollars of Interpunk,you NEED this.Some of my favourite bands(thestart,Against Me!,The Bronx and The Briefs) feature,along with a band or two that were new to me.Like the AMP CD series,its cheap and the quality is high.Well worth picking up,you won't regret it.

Anti Flag-Death Of A Nation
One of my favourite punk DVDs in my collection,Anti Flag rip through some of their best songs from their Terror State tour.Opening with Death Of A Nation and closing with Fuck The Flag,every song is brilliant(Got The Numbers being the standout in my view)From what I can see here these guys are one hell of a great live band,and jump higher than most!A must have for fans

Alkaline Trio-Live At The Metro
Alkaline Trio are one of my favourite bands,but this DVD is little more than ok.The crowd are pretty much dead.It's Halloween and you're watching Alkaline Trio and they stand their like robots!?That's not the bands fault but,and Alkaline Trio rip through everything from 97 to Crawl brilliantly.Skiba's voice is at times a little rough,but Dan has never sounded better.Songs like Crawl sound different than they do on record,and the dual vocals on the live version is much more exciting than the recorded version.Fans should pick this up.The commentary is brilliant but the res of the special features suck pretty bad.

Tsunami Bomb-Live At The Glasshouse
Tsunami Bomb have long been one of the best pop punk bands around in my view,and this DVD proves that.Much more exciting live than on record(where they are still pretty fucking brilliant) they play not only the best stuff off their two Kung Fu albums,but some classics from before that time too.Unlike the Trio DVD,the Special Features on this one are great.According to Agent M,this is the "longest Tsunami bomb set in history",it covers pretty much everything they have done.Opening with the ebergetic El Diablo,and closing with an old favourite Not Forever,this DVD does not dissapoint.
