4 out of 5 stars not too shabby........2001-12-17

this cd is worth the (money), i didnt hear of many of the bands before i bought it. but now i can sing it word by word troguhout the whole cd. its nice to buy if you want to get started on uk bands and helps to make me see what i like and would like to buy from the bands in the future

4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good.......2001-10-02

I got this given to me as a gift, and, although I am a big punk fan, had low expectations. The only bands I recognized were Snuff and Goober Patrol, and I have always been wary of the punk compilation. This CD blew me a way--some of the songs are absolute gems.
The song Solidarity, by Newtown Grunts, Godsend, by Turtlehead, and Unconditional, by Four Letter Word all blew me away, and most of the CD is solid. If you are a die-hard punker, and you need something new to expose you to some bands you may not have heard of, get this CD
