Moon Ska’s Skarmageddon series has been the be-all-end-all of ska samplers; a double-disc set featuring over thirty tracks. The third one is no exception.
Compiled by Raul (Dwell) and Rayshele Teige (ex-Century Media), you’d trust this’d be the best of women in extreme metal, but it fails to engage on any level.
The soundtrack runs dayglo red with the work of contemporary artists mining the paisley vein, with some bona-fide artifacts thrown in for legitimacy’s sake.
A good stab at Hüsker Dü’s Land Speed Record in intensity. It’s more punk than hardcore, and a very refreshing glass of youthful angst on this hot sunny day.
