Best of the Worst 93-97

The final release by Memphis' Oblivion's, the Best of the Worst: 93-97 is a collection of mostly previously released material recorded as alternate versions and live takes. The Oblivion's like their Rock & Roll down and very dirty. The Best of the Worst's liner notes come courtesy of the inimitable Jeffrey Evans and chronicle the band's roots, formation, and a handful of antics that happened in between. Evans also reveals that before they were the Oblivion's, the outfit was very briefly (for one show) known as P. P. & the Naildrivers ("P. P. " being an abbreviation for Pontius Pilate) and later the Gentlemen of Leisure. The Oblivion's' are packed with raucous, Bluesy Garage Rock that will have hips shaking for years to come.
