    What better way to celebrate the rebirth of the Philadelphia scene than with a four way split of four of the bands that have helped or are helping it to happen. Four of the best punk acts from Philadelphia join forces to put this album out. The Curse, Go! For The Throat, Knives Out, and Paint It Black all contribute two songs a piece to make this all happen.

    This album is just packed with fast and hard punk rock. This album is one of my top 10 albums of the year. I love all four of these bands but I can't help from showing my love for The Curse and Paint It Black. Great Bands, great songs and a great price. You can get this album on either a 10" vinyl or cd. The recordings for this album are good and they are about even on quality. There is nothing worse than listening to a comp that has recordings of different quality.

    Four great bands, eight songs. Get it.
