This is the fourth volume of the Hopeless CD/video comp and it’s quite an impressive line-up. A good mix of bands and styles with 20 in all. Even though everything on here is previously released it’s cool in a mixed tape kind of way. Some of the standouts include Samiam, the Melvins, the Strike, AFI, Superchunk, Sick of it All, the Weakerthans and Scared of Chaka. The video has a bonus bootleg at the end of Fifteen doing the Crimpshrine classic “Inspiration.”
