    I must say, at first sight of this CD, I was a little scared. Three nice men in there mid-30's grace the cover of this CD, clad in the latest of middle-aged white fisherman apparel (such as screen caps and barbecue-stained tank tops) showing off their shark catch. I braced myself for some yuppie grit rock. Fortunately, I was relieved to find out that this was only the latest compilation from Wounded Records. This release covers about every genre of modern hard music except metal. If you like punk, ska, emo, hardcore, or just modern rock, there's a little tidbit of wholesome sonic goodness on here just for you. My personal favorite would have to be Touch the Robe's "So Happy." To order this CD, send check for $10 ppd to: Jeremiah Duncan c/o Wounded Records, 1145 Stierley Rd, North Wadesville IN 47638
