The Ergs DorkRockCorkRod is the best punk album to ever come out of New Jersey. This is saying a lot considering NJ is home to countless other highly regarded punk outfits including Lifetime. When I say punk I'm not referring to the big label pop you see on MTV calling itself punk, I'm talking about the do-it-yourself, tour the shittiest firehalls and sleeping on floors, playing faster than fast PUNK ROCK that MTV wouldn't play even if was voted #1 on TRL. They combine this aesthetic with their nerdiness and instrumental proficiency to write some really fantasic (if ignored) music. I'd rank this album and band right up there with the Decendents and Milo Goes to College as some real punk that everyone ought to listen to at least once.
Also making this band cool: The nod to the Ramones by calling themselves Joey,Mikey, and Jeffey Erg. The fact that they're a power trio with no touring 4th member (looking at you, Green Day). The drummer is the lead singer, which is always impressive.
