There are some great bands on this CD and what I always love about compilations is the variety of music on display. I will start off by talking about the Hardcore Drum n Bass exploits of Spinfire – this is some wicked stuff showing that the UK not only has some great hidden away Rock bands, but also has some Drum n Bass whizzes hiding away in the underground as well! This Spinfire tune is fast paced with a cool beat, good rhythm and some banging drumming that you can really get dancing to and enjoying yourself. Drum n Bass can be good and this is a fine example of when it truly does kick arse! Drum n Bass at its best I would say. Slamaster J offers up a pretty amusing little ditty with him speaking out some hilarious words to a short tune that is sure to put a smile on your face with its catchy rhythm and amazingly funny structure. Worm are a totally different band again and provide a completely different sound with their mix up of electronic techno and extreme metal. Ok, so it doesn’t exactly sound like a match made in heaven, but trust me – once you hear this then you will fully appreciate this unique blend. With blinding bass lines, storming guitar solos and some outstanding vocals you are sure to be impressed. A band that I spoke of earlier on, Lowlife UK sounded like an extremely interesting band to me when I was reading about them – and here is what I personally have to say about them – they offer up some strong music with their trash punk style, with Punk as Fuck vocals, fast pace and amazing drum beats! If you are a fan of Oi Punk then you will absolutely love this band as this track is a strong and fine one and I am sure there are plenty more where this one came from!

This is an interesting Skate album with a good variety of genres on it making sure you don’t get bored – by using skate fuelled lyrics, and fast, adrenaline pumping extreme songs to get you ready to endure some hardcore skating. It has a much more entertaining track list than ‘Skater Rock’ surprisingly, containing tracks that skaters would actually listen to rather than puny pop anthems of no power or depth whatsoever. When you see some of the Skate Compilations you think that skateboarding must have become somewhat commercial with bands on the cover such as New Found Glory and Blink182 but when you see compilations like Gnarly Dude you start to remember why you got into skateboarding in the first place – thanks to fast paced, power packed tunes.
