As they ready themselves for the annual carnage that is Camden Rocks, London’s latest skate-punks Barcreeps have put together an essential ‘good mix’ of songs about beer for us in preparation for their performance at Camden’s Good Mixer as part of the festivities. We can raise a glass to that!

Here's the playlist they have curated exclusively for us with a few words from the band on their reasons for their choices:

NOFX: ‘Beer Bong’ picked by (Hendricks - guitar)

Terrible lyrics and pretty badly recorded, this song reminds me of my irresponsible, beer drinking, teenage self. I used to make homemade beer bongs with bits purchased from DIY stores. My finest creation was a 6ft monster with a fire hose valve which could take about four cans of beer. There was a lot of vomiting most Friday nights.

Lyrics: If I want some beer, I don't want to hear, How I missed the show, Because I drink to slow, So pass me the beer bong, It won't take very long, For me to put down, Torpedo to the ground.

Thin Lizzy: ‘Got To Give It Up’ (picked by Hendricks)

Moving on from ‘Beer Bong’, this is a classic Lynott ode to the destructive power of drink and drugs. Dark lyrics and a cry for help guitar solo in the middle and end create a real sense of desperation and regret.

Thin Lizzy - Got To Give It Up Enjoy! :P

Minor Threat: ‘Straight Edge’ (picked by Hendricks)

Continuing on the same trajectory, ‘Straight Edge’ is a declaration of abstinence from mind altering substances, not for any other reason that following the intoxicated crowd stops you being an effective and in touch human. When the middle classes are all getting out of their mind on drink and drugs it's the ultimate form of rebellion.

i'm a person just like you but i've got better things to do than sit around and fuck my head hang out with the living dead snort white shit up my nose pass out at the shows i don't even think about speed that's something i just don't need i've

The Replacements: ‘Here Comes A Regular’ (picked by Bannister - vocals and guitar)

The devastating effects of alcoholism on a person's mental and physical health have never been so romantically told. All hail Westerberg.

Well a person can work up a mean mean thirst after a hard day of nothin' much at all Summer's passed, it's too late to cut the grass There ain't much to rake anyway in the fall And sometimes I just ain't in the mood to take my place in

The Queers: ‘I Only Drink Bud’ (picked by Bannister)

Joe Queer has tried 'em all, making him a veritable authority on beer. Heineken, apparently, tastes like skunk piss - who knew?!

ZZ Top: ‘Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers’ (picked by Campari - drums)

A rock'n'roll lifestyle anthem. With one of the cheesiest guitar riffs of all time it perfectly captures how being a rocker it is not just playing in a band.

Ratos de Porão: ‘Beber Atè Morrer’ (picked by Campari)

Your life is a shambles? Your boss kicked you out from work? Your partner left you? You can't go back home as your house is burning? Just drink, drink until you die!

Music of Brazillian band Ratos de porão taken from the album Brasil of 1989. Lyrics: Beber Até Morrer Porque o homem quando foge de si mesmo Se afoga na bebida e se droga sem parar Será que a vida imposta é vencer um vale tudo? Ou viver sempre chapado é melhor do que lutar?

Toy Dolls: ‘The Lambrusco Kid’ (picked by Campari)

Fun band, sad story. Maybe you should consider a better type of wine…

I'm always felling lonely I'm always feeling blue she was the one and only she said sheloved me too but now she's gone and left me just like they always do now I'm always full of misery I don't know what to do I'm always on a downer I should

The Bouncing Souls: ‘Holiday Cocktail Lounge’ (picked by Railgrind - bass)

Bannister once tried to take me to this bar in Manhattan just because of this song. I was too young and my fake ID was too lame. They didn’t serve me.

Black Flag: ‘Six Pack’ (picked by Railgrind)

I got a six pack and I don’t need you

Dead Kennedys: ‘Too Drunk To F**k’ (picked by Railgrind)

This song needs zero explanation!
