I rub my grubby hands together as I drop this sampler cassette into my walkman
wondering what gems Chase has come with for his new label roster. First up is
Society Burning, and it appears that they've finally been found by a record
label and snatched up hungrily. While the track doesn't appear to resemble
anything I've heard from them on their two self-released albums, it does offer
us a teaser about what is to come. I listen for a bit through the next three
tracks as I've already reviewed them on their respective albums and Collide into
the last track on side one. My, O My, O My, I could just kiss Chase smack on
the lips and propose marriage to him. Collide offers one of the best female
vocals mixed with grinding electro rhythms that I've heard on a now
ex-independent band. One of these days I'm going to start a label and beat
Chase at his game.
The auto reverse switches abruptly onto side two and I begin to have bad
flashbacks to Big Audio Dynamite II while Eric Powell of 16Volt belts out the
next catchy tune. Must be something in the water or a bad MTV nightmare.
Speeding past Tinfed I drop into the only bad that drives me totally bonkers on
this sampler. For whatever reason Non-Aggression Pact is one of the most
annoying band a that I've ever had the displeasure of listening too, and I can't
explain why. Maybe the microwaves from Big Brother have finally reached the
cranial receptors. A little fun with the backyard rodents as Eric Powell has a goe
with the vocals and finally a little hip-hop frenzy with the boys from SMP.
Remind me to get my next aurally induced hit damn fast before the buzz fades
away.
