V/A Endless Struggle: The worst of the 1 in 12 Club vol. 12/13 double LPReview in PROFANE EXISTANCE zine Nr. 26/1995:The latest and best in the series of compilation LP' s put out by the 1 in 12 Club in Bradford, England. With a few exceptions, all of the bands on this LP played at the club sometime between July ' 90 and July ' 92 and what a hell of a line up that is. A few of the more noteworthy tracks are from TERMINUS, DISAFFECT, SEDITION, ONE BY ONE, CLUSTER BOMB UNIT, BLITZKRIEG (yup, back from the grave), SARCASM, WAT TYLER, SORE THROAT, OI POLLOI, VOORHEES, NAILBOMB, DECADENCE WITHIN, CONTROPOTERE, DOOM, CONCRETE SOX, HIATUS... fuck it, they are all pretty good and most tracks are previously unreleased. There is also a big lyric book, which unfortunately doesn' t give any information about the organizations/groups that this project benefits (the Anarchist Black Cross and the Zapatistas). As far as the bands go, the only thing I can complain about is the inclusion of the idiotic straight edge/Hardline band IRONSIDE who are almost funny in the fact that their lyric page is a complete parody of themselves (unintended of course). This record is definitely worth tracking down and you can probably get one relatively cheap from Active Distribution. (Dan) |
