VIOLATION - Gonna Get You Flawless NWOHM with plenty of hooks and by all means on par w/ their 7".
WILD DOGS - Never Gonna Stop The US answer to Grim Reaper? Despite the running-by-numbers it's great cathy HM for sure.
MIXED BLESSING - Kill Or Be Killed GnR meets NWOAHM w/ both some Ac/Dc and more metallic riffs thrown into the mix, a.k.a. 'Sleaze Metal'.
HAWAII - Secret Of The Stars Shows this band in their absolute prime. Superb, technical & proud US Metal at its finest.
STEVE RICHARDS BAND - Saved For The Fight Hardrockmetal like a heavier Van Halen and a quite ridiculous, mellow chorus. But I like it.
Tracklist side B:
THE RODS - Hot City A heavy, pounding hardrocker displaying their best side imo.
DEREK FRIGO - Powerplay Solo artist + song title like "Powerplay" = solo. Always.
VICIOUS RUMORS - Ultimate Death Bit of an awkward & jerky piece of Metal, not too dissimilar to M Fate. Uncatchy but cool.
MANILLA ROAD - Flaming Metal Systems Rather upbeat (by MR standards) live favourite that was exclusive to this comp at the time, but later included on every reissue of the "Crystal Logic" album, recorded the same year.
GILLES-MARRINO ASSAULT - We Live For Rock American Hard Rock/"Radio Metal", well performed but too slick'n'slim to keep my ears awake.
