This album consists of covers of various punk rock and hardcore bands from the seventies and eighties. The album title itself is an allusion to the song title "Do You Want New Wave or do you want the Truth?" by the Minutemen from their Double Nickels on the Dime album. Only the last song is not a punk cover.
