UK: first strike records. fst-015 / 36 tracks / 1991

Contains “And the time is now” EP (with re-recorded guitars), “Your Power means nothing” EP, “Why Suffer” EP, one track from Panx 05 comp., two tracks from “Look at all the Children now” comp., one track from Root Canal flexi. + lyric sheet. 2000 made.

Collection of early EPs & compilation tracks. Essential powerful & non-clichéd NYHC, fast, powerful, hectic & with smart vocals. The only thing that bugs me is the new guitar sound for some tracks, the originals sound more brutal… [8]

Essentielle Zusammenstellung der alten 7”s & Samplerbeiträge. 36(!)mal schneller, hektischer, ehrlicher, engagierter und kraftvoller, nicht-stereotyper NY-Hardcore. Schade nur, daß die Tracks der “And the Time is now” 7” einen neuen Gitarrensound verpasst bekamen, die Originalversionen kommen doch noch ein bißchen brutaler.
