I guess this whole tape is sort of a critique of punk, by the people who play it. This tape is dedicated to the assholes, the hangers-on, people looking to cash-in, the tryhards, the fashion-obsessed, the fakes, the elitist wannabes, the hypocrites, and oh...so many others.

I decided to keep this one short, keeping it to one side of a 60-minute tape. This isn't due to a lack of material, as every hardcore band ever has written at least one song about "the scene." In fact, it's all some bands write about, and i think it makes for pretty vapid lyrics. It doesn't really matter how clever you are or how many good lines you use, when it's all you talk about, that's lame. So the length of this tape is simply because there's not a lot to say about it, and i didn't really want to rehash the same messages for another thirty minutes. I considered making this just side two, and making side one completely ironic...basically songs by bands who are being hypocritical, inane, or who fall into the catagories above. So i'd include bands like Chain of Strength (lolz @ "True 'til Death"), Vegan Reich, Anti-Flag (i was thinking "Angry Young and Poor" would be a great choice), the Casualties, et cetera. But eventually i decided i wasn't much into that idea. So instead of having to endure thirty minutes of shit before the good stuff, it's just straight to the fun. Enjoy.
