NY sXe hardcore compilation, with Pressure Release (fast hardcore with a good singer), Up Front (with some Youth of Today influences, but faster) and Wide Awake (the usual NYHC sound, but good). Good and powerful music, a bit derivative, though. [7]  

NY-Straight-Edge-Sampler mit Pressure Release (schnell, guter Sänger), Up Front (etwas Youth-of-Today-mäßig, aber schneller) und Wide Awake (üblicher NYHC). Alle Tracks würden von einer besseren Produktion sehr profitieren. Auffällig wieder mal, wie sehr sich die SE-Bands im Sound ähneln (unity, was?). Insgesamt ne ganz gute Platte.

Tracks: Pressure Release - pass it on / Wide Awake - last straw / wide awake // Pressure Release - never give in / Up Front - something to strive for / one step ahead / live and let live
