Two new records have hit the streets in the past couple weeks. First a repress of the classic WELCOME TO 1984 comp. This was put out out by MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL back in the day. This comp is not dated at all. Each song is a political In your face HC punk hit. Each band has a hard hitting song with strong fuck you lyrics to a system of oppression. This record does not only represent a time in this worlds political history, but also represents the state of the world today. This record is 26 years old and so little has changed and so much still needs to happen. This record is 100% hardcore and is a a must for anybody who loves this movement. This comp has 23 bands from 17 countries. This will take you on a nice trip around the world of Political HC punk. Some of the bands on this comp are CRUCIFUCKS/U.B.R./RAW POWER/INFERNO and many many more. My favorite track on this is from band called DEPRESSION from Australia. I need more by this band this song makes me lose my mind. At work yesterday all i did was think about getting home and hearing this song again.
