Here is yet another compilation tape, this time the first release from Glasgow based, tape only label 45 A-side records.As compilations go its not a bad effort at all featuring 16 bands, mostly all of which hail from Scotland.

For me it finally allowed me to gain a hold off new recorded output from Stonehaven noise merchants PVH which was pretty sweet their track "Year Old girl cherries" features the line "love young girls", brilliant. Stonehaven is supported well on this tape from the inclussion of Copy Haho's track "Shooting at the sky" which is just over 2 minutes of absolutely indie joy, Copy Haho write brilliant song and have no doubt I will be hearing alot more of them soon.

Dundees Juliet Kilo provide the biggest singalong with "You'll never be an artist", some nice riffs and harmonies. Another top class band from Dundee Archives add in a bit of screamo in the vein of Envy and Glasgow band Take a worm for a walk week's track "Lumber Puncture" is 30 seconds of pure noise core which leaves you wanting more.

All in all a well rounded compilation which would perhaps benefit from being slightly narrower in the choices of genres covered. Looking forward to future releases.
