V/A – Fall Asleep to This – CD (Smart Ass Records) Yet another Punk compilation to wade through…but, hey, this one’s pretty interesting. I don’t think I’ve heard of any of the bands on it either. Many of the tracks are really loose,...

Fishsticks / Hostile Takeover – Split – 7″ (Aloha Records) The Fishsticks’ side was fast, furious, full of noise and badly mixed. Enough said. Hostile Takeover is cheesy synth music with equally bad productions quality. I pinch my nose with my...
