"You gotta just throw yourself into the swirling pit of Blowout’s punk dragnet with this 16 band rager ft. loadsa unrecorded outfits and a couple of debut shows. Here’s what we do know: Plague Pit are the most rotten happening in bubonic hardcore since 1666, Kute’s eggy art-core is an absolute love-at-first-slam + Sneer’s Crew Cuts-endorsed belligerence packs enough stompy venom to fill alllllll your black boots."
