Charles has outdone himself on this one. This comp is great. 36 tracks, all relevant bands in the CURRENT hardcore scene. Each band is either an up and comer, or has been on the scene for a minute already. I’d list off the bands, but there are 36 to chose from. And realistically, for 36 tracks, there are very few clunkers. You’d think the law of averages would factor a high clunker to heater ratio, but it’s real low on this comp. Plenty of unreleased songs or versions too. Live tracks and a few covers — gotta love Crippled Youth covers.
My only real complaint about the whole thing is that there are SOOOO many songs. 36 songs is a huge plateful of tracks. Driving around, I felt like I needed a notepad to mark down the bands that I wanted to hear more from. There was no way I could attempt to recall what band did what song. It was impossible.
You can check the Get Outta Town Records website for more details. I’d suggest you order this. If you are that guy on the Livewire that is always asking “What new bands are out there?” this is the perfect answer to your question.
