SCHLEPROCK - America's Dirty Little Secret

Artist:  Schleprock

Album: America’s Dirty Little Secret

Year:  1996

Genre:  Punk

Schleprock’s swansong, titled America’s Dirty Little Secret, is not only the best work of their entire catalog, but it is an unrecognized jewel of 90s punk rock.  Schleprock were one of the many bands scooped up by a major label during the explosion of Warped Tour, Green Day and The Offspring.  Apparently Atlantic records were a huge help to them because this album is pretty damn great as none of their independent releases even come close to matching its quality.  Elements of street punk and ska are tastefully scattered all over this incredibly catchy style of straight forward punk rock.  Schleprock never caught on with the masses and the band died off after this release.  Definitely worth combing through discount CD bins to find this cool record.
