[announcement]
\nLookout! Records
\nreviewed by Kira Sandage<\/p>\n
I’ve been a fan of Lookout! Records since I was old enough to really enjoy pop punk. Green Day’s Insomniac was my first punk album and I rapidly became a huge Green Day fan. But I set aside punk for many years and am finally restoring my love for late eighties to late ninties pop punk, back when pop punk was actually real, not this Hot Topic bullshit like My Chemical Romance. So now that Lookout! is basically defunct, what with bands like Green Day and Screeching Weasel pulling the rights to their albums due to Larry Livermoore not paying royalties, I’ve decided to make a memorial to the good old days of Lookout! Records. So in celebration of the decline of Lookout! I have decided to collect and review at least one album from every single band ever signed to the Lookout! label.<\/p>\n
