Singles Going Confetti conveniently collects all of Give's singles together on one disk, and if you don't know who Give are, they're the type of band that plays riffy hardcore punk/post-hardcore with an undeniable in-your-face interface and punk swagger. They may not seem like much right off of the bat; it took me several listens before it really started clicking, as the deceptive simplicity of everything can fool one into believing that few things are going on, but eventually it becomes apparent that that which is going on (the awesome, drunken vocals, the raw yet tasty production, and the tight, albeit simple riffs) is totally kickass. It's really as easy as this: there's nothing like hardcore with attitude, and seeing as how that's exactly what Give brings to the table and compilation has some of their best material, this is a noted jam.
