Press Reviews Las Vegas Weekly November 1999:2¢ Worth are as old school as you can get. The Vegas punk quartet has been kicking around the valleyfor years in various forms, playing loud, spitfire punk inspired by California pioneers like SocialD. and Bad Religion. The band's 1997 debut, All or Nothing, was a solid testament to hardcor's abilityto be both poppy and powerful, 2¢ Worth combining a healthy dose of distortion and anarchy with solidsongwriting.The band's latest release, Give Up the Gun, is more of the same. While it's not really fair to call 2¢Worth's new disc an album -- the whole thing clocks in at just under 20 minutes -- the quartet doesn't waste a second.The eight songs on Give Up the Gun are grinding turn-and-burn punk that buzz by your ears like a mortar shell. The pace neverdrops below a dead sprint. It all gives an urgency to singer Adam "Bomb" Segal's rants on society ("Can't buy the future") and injustice ("Makes no sense"). But unlike a lot of aging punk bands, 2¢ Worth's political undertonesaren't just blind rants without substance. These are educated tales, told by people who've been around longenough to have seen and lived it all, but delivered in such a way as not to have that back-in-my-day hypocrisy. Who ever thought punk could befatherly?--J.I.
