Compiling the driving output of the bands early years,
Triple Shot gathers the first three albums from Washington punks,
MxPx into one, three-disc collection. Featuring 1994’s
Pokinatcha, 1995’s
Teenage Politics, and 1996’s
Life in General, the set represents a formative period in the band's sound, giving listeners a chance to hear the band working to find their sound before they would break out of the Christian charts and into the mainstream just a couple years later. While any hardcore fans will undoubtedly already own all of these records,
Triple Shot is a great jumping-off point for this iconic pop-punk band, and anyone late to the
MxPx party would do well to snap this collection up. ~ Gregory Heaney
