V/A – Carry The Torch : A Tribute To Kid Dynamite


There’s no denying that Kid Dynamite was one highly influential hardcore band. So it was only a matter of time before a tribute popped up. Get Outta Town took charge and what was supposed to be a normal tribute album turned into a 39-song behemoth.

Yes, this album boasts every song that Kid Dynamite ever recorded and they are played by a wide variety of talented bands. Those acts include Broadway Calls, Lewd Acts, PRT favorites Make Do And Mend, Static Radio NJ, No Trigger, The Ergs, This Is HellToken Entry drummer Ernie Parada along with a shitload of others. My favorite new discovery would have to be No Secrets Between Sailors who unfortunately called it a day last month. Bummer! Another bummer comes in the form of To The Lions who manage to turn “Rid Of The Losers / Bring On The Cruisers” into a typical moshcore cut… big no no!

Anyway, if you are new to Kid Dynamite this is a good place to start. Not only do you get to know Kid Dynamite’s material, you will also be introduced to a bunch of bands influenced by these hardcore legends.
Score: 8 out of 10
