headhunter. #010 / 13 tracks / 1992

+ lyric sheet.

San Diego compilation that covers the Headhunter spectrum of bands, ranging from kickass, RnR-influenced punk to melodic hardcore and more rocking stuff. Most notable are the songs by Rocket from the Crypt (two good unreleased tracks), Drive like Jehu (a different version of the LP song), Crash Worship (pounding industrial-style stuff, intense) and 411, but the others are no letdowns either. There are no super hits here, but it's a solid comp. [7]

San-Diego-Sampler, der das Spektrum der Headhunter-Bands abdeckt - das reicht von Arschtritt-RnR-Punk über melodischen Hardcore bis zu rockigeren Sachen. Am besten gefallen mir hier RFTC (zwei gute neue Songs), Drive like Jehu (eine andere Version des LP-Titels), Crash Worship (stampfender, intensiver Industrialsound) und 411, aber echte Ausfälle gibt es auch bei den anderen Bands nicht.

Tracks: Fishwife - swing jesus / Crankshaft - eleanor / Helicopter - death of a queen bee / Holy Love Snakes - deeper than this / 411 - mad at myself / Crash Worship - angel del tremblor // Drive Like Jehu - sinews / Quesacabeza - good boy / Olivelawn - heard it on the x / Rocket From The Crypt - nail biter / battery licker / Drip Tank - mud dog
