Collision Course

Rhythm Collision, “Collision Course” (Dr. Strange/Collision, 1997; original recording 1989-97)
Here, in one place, are most of the singles of a first-rate singles band. Like their models (Generation X, Buzzcocks, Dickies), L.A.’s Rhythm Collision crafted mid-‘60s-ish pop tunes, then packed ‘em with punk rock dynamite to explode on impact. Super-dynamic rhythm section too, drawing on hardcore while foreshadowing pop punk (but don’t blame them).
