“Streets off America” Is a fantastic compoliation of various hardcore punk / Oi bands from around the United states (but mostly New York). As you would expect there are a few uninteresting songs on this comp (only 2 as far as I’m concerned) but this is to be expected with any comp. You always get a few intense songs that you can’t get enough of and a few that you skip.
This album starts off with “Night Violence” by Criminal Intent which is a good old fashioned fast and heavy and extremely catchy punk rock song. It was the best choice to start the album and is my favorite of all 18 songs.
“Another Day” by Ohio River Rats is far more poppy to be considered hardcore but is still a track full of energy and toe tapping ability.
Dead End Path “Welcome to my World” is your traditional D-Beat NYHC song so there is that sound you know and love. Also the lyrics are “Killer” as a friend commented on while listing to the album.
The one downside to the entire album is there is no lyric sheet which is something all punk rock releases should have. It might just be because this was a review copy I received and I expect it would be on the LP so it might just be the copy I received. All in all there are too many postive and outstanding bands on this comp. So many bands on this release would be a great place to start if you are looking for some amazing Oi or hardcore punk.
