Wicked City

Soundtrack

Gypsy/BMG

I don’t know anything about the movie, but the soundtrack has a lot of hard-hitting numbers by what seems to be independent punk bands. The only two I recognized was Orange 9mm and CIV. Orange 9mm’s “Sacrifice” is probably the best on the record. Other standouts include Mephiskapheles’ ska-infected “Doomsday,” Choking Victim’s “Fuck America,” H20’s “5 Year Plan,” and the list goes on. This is a good compilation, a virtually who’s who in punk rock. Definitely worth the investment.
