West Coast Madness
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Here's a sampler CD showcasing new talent at this cool new label. You'll hear their first three bands - Freeto Boat, The Kreepdowns, and Noggin Toboggan, but also the hilarious ska outfit, The San Diego Big News Bears, and hardcore band Anguish Unsaid. The three songs by Anguish Unsaid, "Comfort Zone," "Battle Cry," and "Confession in Times of Tribulation" are intense. This little set makes the economically-priced compilation worth checking out (plus the cool sticker inside).\
