Reviews & Opinions
JEFF BALE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #3, NOVEMBER 1982: A new sampler of mostly unknown New York groups. It features stuttering thrash by the MOB and SQUIRM, but most of of the music and themes are rooted firmly in the garage punk tradition. The best garage group is ISM, who should get kudos for both their political lyrics and the best song title of the year-- " Moon the Moonies. " The HEADLICKERS, BUTCH LUST & THE HYPOCRITES, and KILLER INSTINCT have more of a rock-HM origin, but the latter are real fast. This record is uneven but it does contain some gems.Additional Notes
A follow-up compilation entirled The Big Apple - Rotten To The Core Vol 2: Sin City...5 Years Later came out, er, five years later, in 1987.
