--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This limited edition tape (100 copies) was released just before christmas and contains either unreleased tracks or tracks which have only appeared on demos of bands on one of the most exciting labels in the UK just now, holy Roar records.

Highlights include:

Maths heavily Orchid influenced screamo who are one of the country's best at said genre.
Omerta sound to me what The Locust would sound like if they liked metal and made songs over 1 and a half minutes
The heavily Botch influenced Tortuga's track "Dance like no-ones watching" is brutal from start to finish
Tubelord provide the compilation with a break from pounding riffs and mix together a wide range of influences much like early biffy but with a more frantic edge
Phoenix bodies cover of Minor Threats "Filler"


The only downside of the compilation are the fact that the labels probably two best band, Cutting Pink with knives and Rolo Tomasi are represented by poor tracks which do not reflect the quality of either band.

All in all a good purchase,if anyone fancies a copy (presume that will be alright as its sold out now) just get in touch.
