Unlike most compilations today this isn't just here as a cheap label sampler or givaway gimmick, but as a soundtrack for the late 90's where old NYHC heroes like Agnostic Front and Maximum Penalty meet the new school generation of the west coast like Redemption 87, Suppression Swing and Good Riddance. To add an international flavour Euro perennials Growing Concern rock the house down and Japan's DBX show that hardcore in 1998 is a totally global thing. Other bands feat are; Kill Your Idols, Fastbreak, Collateral Damage, Ensign, In My Eyes, Model American, Killing Time, OS 101, Awkward Thought, Built To Spill, Strenght 691, Trial, Powerhouse and Heckle.
