Looking at this corny artwork you're probably thinking this a rockabilly compilation from the 90's or 2000's. But it's actually a collection of rare 80's punk rock and hardcore from Oakville Ontario, a town between Hamilton and Toronto. Of course you'd never know that because there is no information or history on this anywhere, just some tiny low-res photos and Facebook links to some of the bands on the inside cover.
Unfortunately the sound quality matches the layout, especially the NEGATIVE GAIN tracks. It's almost like the files were sourced from Napster circa 1999. Which makes it even funnier considering this CD came out in 2019! But hey, outside of HYPE and the aforementioned NEGATIVE GAIN it's the only place to hear the other three bands so I guess it's better than nothing?
