all the bands that sent me music. i appreciate the trust you all had in me to believe this would actually see the light of day.

Our take: Between the Coasts is the first release on the new Milwaukee label No Label, and its a compilation of contemporary midwest hardcore and punk (well, mostly midwest LAs Rolex appear for no apparent reason, other than that they rip). The vibe reminds me of 80s cassette-only compilations like Charred Remains or Barefoot and Pregnant, which were heavy on content and packaged with the aesthetic sensibility of a DIY hardcore demo tape. There are a handful of names I knowSlogan Boy, Big Laugh, and Deodorant among themand a bunch that are new to me. None of the tracks are duds in my book, but the standouts include Eggnorts knotty hardcore, Slogan Boys vicious, Poison Idea-influenced USHC, and Deodorants Minutemen vibes. With twelve tracks for only four bucks, you cant go wrong with this one, so get hip to whats happening in flyover country.
