A good compilation with more hits than misses is sometimes hard to find, but Estrus is killing all previous doubts with this one. Showcasing some of the best underground rock and garage bands around these days, this collection features 19 tracks by artists who live in loud and crazy worlds, and this is a CD jam packed with pumped up, fuzzed-out rock’n’roll. Making appearances are distortion sweethearts the Bobbyteens with the bouncing "Hurt for You,” tough-as-shit wonders the Mummies spit out "I’m Gonna Kill My Baby Tonight,” and dirty rock masters Federation X mull over "Gone Too Long.” The Dexateens, the Von Zippers, the Makers, and many other not-to-be-missed bands can be found here as well. This compilation has the rock’n’roll fix that many of you so badly need. Perfect at full blast from beginning to end.
