Awesome, vinyl-only compilation of 19 of the country's finest hardcore bands from all corners of the land. Byron Bay's Shackles open side one with their powerful track "Gloat" off their recently released 7 inch, setting the scene for the audio onslaught that follows. Comp has a good mix of all styles of hardcore from raging old school, Boston sound, NYHC core, youth crew, chugga mosh and everything in between. Some bands contribute new unreleased songs, others previously released material, but overall the talent level on show here is through the roof. Stand outs: Hurt Unit, The Weight, Refrain, Civil War, Vigilante, Never Right, Thick Skin, Outright, Square One, Frozen Over. Australian hardcore is ruling at the moment. Good luck trying to find a copy of this LP.
