Yup, you guessed it! A music sampler of Austin, Texas bands but these
ones testify to their own of the DIY and staying away from any
corporate
labels and having artistical freedom. 19 tracks and artists ranging
from
Punk to Hardcore, Metal,Rock, Stoner Rock and mainstream. My only
standouts out of the whole compilation were Pong, The Spiders, Electric
Cock, USS Friendship, Brown Whornet, Migas Squat Thrust and
Creeperweed.
It's a decent comp but not enough bands to wet my willy as far as
original material. Despite one critic saying this is the "music capital
of the world", I only disagree that it's not the "one and only" since
we
have many coming out of Chicago, Detroit, Tampa, San Francisco and LA
as
far as major cities are concerned. I do respect releases like this for
the simple "artistic freedom" as mentioned earlier since alot of
corporate labels try to change bands from what they wan to play from
the
heart if it doesn't suit today's trends.
