I remember when this compilation dropped the review in MRR was pretty good but they thought the title of the cd was a little stupid-and rightly so. Jawbreaker, Friction and Buzzoven don't necessarily scream working class to me in my mind. But never mind all of that because this is a really good sampler. Very diverse-the allied recordings way. Besides being a gifted graphic designer, John Yates put out some really great records throughout the 90s. We have most subgenres of punk/hardcore represented and, in most cases represented well. We have the fast hardcore (strait up), sludgy metallic hardcore(buzzoven), artsy metallic hardcore (scrog), poppy "emo" (Jawbreaker, Friction,radon), A band that includes an ex-member of Crass (schwartzeneggar) who's song "happy hour" is just terrific, crusty drunkard punk (unamused and Pissed) and I guess sxe hardcore is kinda represented by Nations on Fire, etc.etc. Anyhoo, great cd and I didn't see it anywhere else online so download it if you like any or all of these bands, it's worth a listen. Now it's time for me to get back to preparing a bulgogi tofu recipe.
