"Unique live perfomances by some obscure but excellent 80's New Wave and 90's alternative bands. Sound quality is clean and the performances are tight!
The Urban Verbs deliver their best-ever version of "Ring Ring"--far better than the strange, shrill album version. Vocals a little weak at the start, but rocks out with authority and a fine clear guitar solo that again, puts the original album version to shame. Deserves club play. Also club-worthy is the brooding groove of "In the Heat". For Urban Verbs fans, this disc will be worth the price just for their 4 tracks.
The Insect Surfers play a series of bright, energetic surf-revival numbers, and the other bands provide interesting, atmospheric, engaging and well-executed alternative material."
