I’ve watched this bands development ever since their inclusion on that very first CHEAP SHOTS sampler. They came over recently too but I messed them. Damn. If you aren’t familirar with them they kinda did what STRIFE did- start of as a generic youth crew band but get faster and more metallic as time went on. This seems to be the tracks from 2 of their early CD’s repackaged together. It’s a real buzz to hear some of these tracks again, especially the shit from ’93, even if it does sound a tad weak stood next to their other EP production wise. Their YOUTH OF TODAY cover is still one of the better versions of ‘Flame Still Burns’ that I’ve heard. This old shit is good, but I can’t tell you what their more recent recordings (except for the taster ‘bonus’ tracks here, which shred) are like ‘cos I lost touch with ‘em after the material on this CD came out firt time round, and I think they have another 2 albums since this(?)   Read Full Review >>

A nice little collection of RF material culled from their pre-Ignoring The Guidelines release. The first nine songs are taken off of their Stronger Than Ever MCD and really showcases the bands passion for speedy youth crew hardcore, not as much of a metal influence as on their last record which is quite good to hear. The last five tracks are from the You Are Not Like Me single and again consists of some cool as fuck fast hardcore If you’re a fan of Raised Fist and you don’t have those releases then you should get this as it’s a fucking great record. You even get four extra tracks so you can’t complain.   Read Full Review >>
