Recording quality is great, the impression of an intimate setting is certainly there, but with the full rock’n’roll presence any Speedealer fan would expect.
I’ve only heard of three of 23 bands, and those are the ones from the U.S. Lots are from Belgium. Bad Casio-petting electropoop, like a bad open mic night.
Mostly white guys with pants that don’t fit, wallet chains, and ball caps who don’t know dick about the ghetto or the crush of constant prejudice. Some gems.
Stuff here steps outta the confines of fill-in-the-blanks punk, Oi!, and ska. Most kick in three songs, so you actually get a feel for what they’re about.
