VARIOUS ARTISTS
Love & Rebellion: A Thick Records Sampler

This is definitely a well-rounded label, if this is a good slice of what they have to offer. While all of the bands more than likely comfortably play little crummy punk rock clubs, the range in styles is pretty amazing: the opening track from Bitchy is a badly-recorded, adrenaline-filled standard punk rock track, while the track from Calliope is a much softer, spoken word piece about a girl from Detroit, accompanied by minimal acoustic guitar with a mellow, sung chorus. Other contributions come from The Gadjits, Haymarket Riot, The Tossers, Blue Meanies, and about half a dozen other bands.
