TRUE STEREO
ADD/C
REALLY WRONG
MRR REVIEW:
Fuck yeah!! This is compilation of sixteen unreleased songs by eight bands from the region of Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is totally great from start to finish. This music is made by punks who work shit jobs (or no jobs at all) and spend most of their time writing anthems to our lives that mostly go unrecognized outside of the Southeast. I'm telling you: you need to improve your fucking lives and pay attention to these bands, if you don't already. FUTURE VIRGINS start it off with some beautifully crafted pop that has caused a room full people to lose their minds and even break limbs. WHAT IF brings the super tight rock to the forefront and will shit in your mashed potatoes if you cross them. TRUE STEREO is some kind of super-rock that will blow your mind on a late night. REALLY WRONG is soulful and great and they have a librarian for a singer! ADD/C has somehow been around for ten years now and are consistently writing epic anthems that will rule your life. DOS TORNADOS is high energy, pissed off and will drink you under the table. 40OZ FOLKLORE is nasty, fast and punk as fuck! HIDDEN SPOTS are currently the best active band in the US and can do no wrong, as far as I'm concerned. This LP is more than a simple compilation of bands and their songs. It is a document of a time, place and people that are full of a love and respect for one another that I've rarely seen anywhere else. Also, the cover art and insert is colorful and beautiful. Highly recommended! Watch Clark. Watch him close. Do Ya Hear We? (GH) (Maximum Rock n Roll)
