Chicago based punk rock band 88 Fingers Louie was active from 1993 until 1999. They were good, but (with all due respect) surely not one of the leading bands of their kind. So I think it's a bit surprising that, out of all bands, French labels My First Records and Eternalis Records chose them to do a tribute for.
"A Tribute to 88 Fingers Louie" contains cover versions by twenty bands that I've never heard of. So it's needless to say that I wouldn't deem this one of the most interesting or appealing tribute albums on the market. But I have to say, I've heard tribute albums that were much, much worse. Apart from the terrible lo-fi acoustic contribution from Five Across the Eyes, all the recordings are decent to good.
I doubt if there's much of an audience for this disc, but if you're a fan of 88 Fingers Louie and you've already heard all the original versions of their songs way too many times, this tribute should be an amusing listen.

| "They were good, but (with all due respect) surely not one of the leading bands of their kind" euh... of wel. |

| Hoe goed een band is/was blijft natuurlijk een kwestie van smaak. Wat ik bedoel is dat ze qua populariteit of naamsbekendheid niet tot de absolute toppers in hun soort behoorden. | |||

| Mwah, ik denk dat ze qua populariteit niet onder deden voor bijv. een Propaghandi destijds. Ik ben wel benieuwd naar de comp though. | |||

| 88 Fingers Louie vond ik echt megatof destijds. Platen rammelde als een gek, maar dat vond ik juist wel zijn charme hebben, en gaf het een scherp randje (wat bij veel bands ontbrak). Band is altijd relatief onbekend gebleven en dus zeker niet te vergelijken met Propagandhi. Ik zag ze toen op het einde van hun bestaan met Good Riddance, en geen hond die er naar kraaide. Live was het overigens niet al te best. | |||

| Jet Market is een toffe band uit Italië. Laatst mee gespeeld in België. Dat nummer dat ze doen (die van Short Music) is ook supercool. |
