Twenty-three rough and ready tracks from a bunch of bands that I guess have been hiding out “down under” for awhile. I guess since I don’t get to go to many shows there is a reason why I’ve never heard of them. 4 Ft Fingers belt out two songs that burn like fresh brats on the grill—quick and tasty. How could you not like a band called The Retardos? I couldn’t resist their “Second Best.” Love Camp 7 is tight as well—“Creature from the Black Latrine” is dark and scary. Tiltwheel reminds me of Automatic 7, but I loved that band so no problem there. Steadfast rounds out my faves on this slab ‘o’ rock but pick this up and you’ll probably find your own new favorite band.
