Nice comp with some big names and some little names.

Surprisingly, some of the little names really hold their own against the big boys. I am particularly thinking of the terse, tense mania of the Slammies song, "Manager Breakdown."

Quite a fine moment in hardcore. Glad that the Slammies -- whoever they were got to be imortalized on vinyl. A fun listen beginning to end.


yeah yeah i agree
