Grand Theft Autumn 5 Soundtrack: OFF! - "What's Next?" (VICE Records & Rockstar)




It must be pretty hard to try to stay "Punk Rock," rebellious, and still keep food on the table these days; Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) was released last week and features a pretty awesome, broad-spanning in-game soundtrack. Rockstar uploaded an expansive 59-track 3 volume collection to iTunes: The Soundtrack, Original Music, and The Score (composed by Tangerine Dream). Included within are tracks, both new and old, from the likes of Clams Casino, Tyler The Creator, Oh No, Yeasayer, Jai Paul, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Yellowman, WAVVES, and recently re-invigorated Hardcore super-group OFF!


The Keith Morris-penned "What's Next?" was conjured up exclusively for GTA V and plays alongside Black Flag, Descendents, The Weirdos, and The Germs on a fictitious radio preset. Noisey reports that Morris, just off a stint with Black Flag off-shoot FLAG, should "head [in]to the studio soon to record a full-length of all new tracks." VICE Records proudly released First Four EP's (2010), which re-collected 4 previously released quick-strike EP's, and an equally short self-titled album last year, too. Just do yourself a favor, head on over to YouTube, and check out OFF!'s 8-10 OFFicial videos; It really shouldn't take you any more than 15-20 minutes because in tried-and-true Punk Rock fashion, OFF!'s D.I.Y. video-singles generally span about 2 minutes max ha.
