BMX Bandits have helped launch the careers of numerous bands (Soup Dragons, Eugenius, and one of my all time favorite bands, Teenage Fanclub), without being able to get to far out of the starting blocks themselves. They do have a fairly large cult following though, and I can only imagine that this release of live tracks recorded with the BBC between the years of 1986 and 1996 will be a welcome joy to their ears. Personally, I’ve never been a very big fan of the band, and this record didn’t do anything to change my mind. If you like quirky power pop, you’ve got it right here by the tons. The release also includes a couple of live tracks by the Pearlfishers with BMX main man Duglas T. Stewart appearing as a special guest, thus earning these songs a spot on this compilation.
