No Compromise Sampler
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Here is a collection of some bands that should convince anyone to pick up their full-length releases. Stairwell starts things off with a taste of emo pop heaven. These guys are so rad! You'll hear the heavy rapcore sounds of Divine Division (where'd these guys come from?!), as well as the real rap sounds of John Reuben, Subculture Deviants, and 12th Tribe. Divine Division also cover emo quite well in their second offering on this disc. Other cool indie artists make an appearance here, like Sincerely (ready to explode pop emo) and TwoThirtyEight. For ordering info, write: No Compromise Records, PO Box 30175, Cleveland OH 44130
