Reviews & Opinions

TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #17, SEPTEMBER 1984: This latest in a long series of so-called Oi compilations features some classic early punk sounds (which now often pass for "Oi"), folk rock, ska, and poetry. Its all pretty progressive lyrically, accentuating the intelligent side of the perspective of working class youth. Among those featured are COCK SPARRER, the GONADS, NICK TOCZEK, PROLE, CROSSED HAMMERS, the BURIAL, A.B.H., and VICIOUS RUMORS. Sounds good.
