Reviews & Opinions

JEFF BALE & TIM YOHANNAN, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #13, APRIL 1984: Our second compilation showcases twenty-three bands from seventeen countries, spanning the east, west, north, and south of this pathetic globe we inhabit. We can't be too objective, but we think that most of the selections here are great, though three or four are only so-so. In any case, it provides a good introduction to worldwide punk and hardcore for those who are unable to purchase overseas releases. For those that are, there's also plenty of unreleased material.
