Get Outta Town is a relatively new label from Florida that has already released some kickass albums by The Steal and Endgame among others. They also dropped this comp with a pretty self-explanatory title. Or to put it in label owner Charles’ own words: “So often, hardcore kids look to the past and reminisce about the ‘good old days’. I think that a lot of times this makes us miss the bands that are out there today touring, putting out their own records and pushing the scene to expand”.
What you get are 36 songs from bands all over the world (from South Africa to Italy and from South Korea to Australia). Some of them are signed to labels, others aren’t. And while you may have heard of some of them (The First Step, Ambitions, Bullet Treatment, Slumlords), this will be your first encounter with a lot of other bands.
You probably won’t like all of the songs on here but it’s a great way to find some new acts that’ll do the trick for you just fine. As for me, I’d love to hear more from Just Say Go!, Van Damage and a couple more acts. But you get the point, this is one of the best hardcore comps I’ve heard in a long time and it can be yours for just 4 bucks... it’s a no-brainer!
Score: 8.5 out of 10
