Holy shit…wow, this is a
comp…I fucking drooled on this when I opened the package…I mean: DIGITAL
LEATHER, DESTRUCTION UNIT, THE CUTTERS, SEX FOR CIGARETTES, BLANCHE
DAVIDIAN and BILLY DRUID’S ATOMIC GOSPEL…I knew I was in for a wild and
exciting ride and could barely walk up the stairs to get this on the
turntable. DESTRUCTION UNIT open up with ‘Come On Feel It’ and if Ryan
Wong’s got anything to do with anything you know it’s gonna blow your
balls, so, needless to say this previously unreleased DESTRUCTION UNIT
track is sick. A ferocious opening track. BLANCHE DAVIDIAN follows with a
different mix of ‘Petunia’ infused with their glam/gothic punk rock style,
SEX FOR CIGARETTES deliver the previously unreleased and absolutely
fantastic ‘Boom Stomp Crash’, volatile and energetic garage punk. Now,
the absolute highlight of the comp…and believe me, finding a show-stealer
among this lot is an almost impossible task…but DIGITAL LEATHER, oh boy,
DIGITAL LEATHER, what can I say? This remix of ‘Dance ‘Til Dead’ is
awesome and, yes, Ryan Wong is involved…beautifully raw and fucked up.
BILLY DRUID’S ATOMIC GOSPEL’s previously unreleased ‘Carpe Nocturne’ is a
dark, one-man band number that’s sinister and abrasive and perhaps the
most atypical track of the compilation but nonetheless great. THE CUTTERS
close with ‘Fuck Pain’ (previously unreleased)and features Shawn Foree of
DIGITAL LEATHER so it goes without saying that it’s going to be raw and
wonderfully fucked up.
This is an amazing compilation and the picturedisc rules too. There are so
many reasons why you should get this comp but you shouldn’t eve have to be
told…just get this and own a killer, killer comp that’s saturated with
pure style and excitement…shit like this doesn’t come around often enough
so
grab it while you can.
