After their split CD with The Ruined earlier this year '06:06:06' is the first single release by the new incarnation of The Destructors. Just the two tracks here 'Fast Forward To Hell' and 'The Neighbour Of The Beast'. If you were a fan of The Destructors of old then it's roll back the years because they have carried on where they left off after their their last release all those years ago. Both these songs are good and although the band have changed their name to Destructors666 it's business as usual because their style hasn't changed. It's good to see a great band back releasing quality old school songs after so long away.

'Total Punk Rock' is on the Calcaza Records label, a label which is striving to give unsigned bands a leg up. This kind of album definitely gets my vote. All the bands on this CD are unsigned and I don't think it will be long before some of them get signed up. Let's hope the bands who get signed up do remember who gave them a chance. This is a quality CD, well produced and the bands are very diverse. There's something on here for everyone. Don't be put off just because you haven't heard of some of the bands, I certainly wasn't. If you really are a true punk fan then this 25 track CD which is only £6 (Post included) is a great buy. Some of the bands showcased are Guns On The Roof, Psychic Volts, Junkster, W.O.R.M., Battleska Galactica, The Bloody Irish Boys, Griswalds, The Modes and Bazooka Joe.

'Spit & Sawdust Tour 06' CD contains 22 of the bands that are playing on the 'Spit & Sawdust' tour which runs from 20th May to 9th july this year. The tour which is the brainchild of Fungal Punk OMD and Noize Anoize Records is about getting back to the real ethos of punk. On the tour all bands are considered equal. No prima donnas here, which is how it should be. Fuck the known bands with their big paydays this is real punk.
This is an excellent CD and you might not have heard of some of the bands but I can assure you they are all good bands. I'm a supporter of this kind of stuff because it is what punk should really be about, not just the nostalgia that so many punks are always on about. Some of the bands featured on the CD are AFS, Suspicious Stains, Boredom, Crouch Mog, Lowlife UK, Churchill, The Guilty Pleasures, Headclinic and Middle Finger Salute. We need new bands coming through to keep the punk scene healthy in the future. These bands are the future.

This is the first thing I have heard by One Day Life who hail from South-East England. 'Friends In Name Only' is a 4 track E.P. that has a definite slant towards the American pop punk market but it's still a pretty good CD. One Day Life's music is fast with catchy singalong choruses. I myself think bands that try to imitate the U.S. punk scene are really after making it over there where the real money is. Saddly how many make it over there? These guys are only young and if they keep plugging away with songs as good as the ones on this CD then there is a chance that the American dream might just become reality.
The track listing is 'Four Hundred Feet', 'Brand New Enemy', 'A Life Half Lived', 'Mistakes And Memories'.
