The glass bottom boat of the cultural press
This is a collection of 16 punk tracks from Down Under, plus a stray cut from Taiwan. The style ranges from Oi! to hardcore. Most of the songs are at least listenable, with only a couple of real stinkers. Especially good are “Mum’s Changed the Locks” by Frenzal Rhomb, “You’ve Taken Everything” by Body Jar, and “Vodka & Lime” by Crettins Puddle. Shock Records, P.O.
