***UG MAN are legendary Tokyo skate hardcore, featuring members of SPITFIRE and GODS GUTS among many others. Manic without being metallic, frantic without copying modern styles. Along with UG Man is CHARM, who are one of the craziest Tokyo thrash mongers ever. Insane distortion, stand-up bass, crazy time changes—this is a pure blast of insanity. Split LP released in support of their West Coast Tour in 2006.

***OHUZARU were blasting thrash from Italy, who reformed into the now legendary LADM. While Ohuzaru contributes their brand of fast and ballistic thrash to this CD, LADM offers what they have become infamous for—a perfect blend of high-energy hardcore punk with hooks and catchiness (à la Lifes Halt). If you missed out the first time around, here's your chance. The newly reformed Ohuzaru will be touring the US this summer (2005) with Iron Lung.
