Reviews: Four very fast and forceful thrash bands from North Carolina: Colcor sounds like a wild thrashed out Meatmen. No Labels is ultrafast thrash like Minor Threat meets Hüsker Dü. No Rock Stars sounds like Hüsker Dü gone thrash. Corrosion of Conformity has a singer who sounds a lot like Henry BF, over hot ultraspeed thrash like Gang Green. Very intense sutff, even more remarkable from a place that didn't have a HC scene in 1981. Unlike a lot of bands that just lash out at safe targets like Reagan or nuclear war, these bands are characterized by sharp, biting lyrics that attack stupidity not only in society at large, but within the scene as well. No smug conformity for these guys. -Tim Tonooka (from Ripper #8, January 1983) This is a really cool tape from the land of Andy Griffith, Barney Fife, and Aunt Bea. The bands on the tape are all good: Corrosion of Conformity, Colcor, No Labels, No Rock Stars. I think it'd be worth your time and money to send $4 for it. -Jone (from Paranoia #6, Spring 1983) Four groups--Colcor, No Labels, No Rock Stars, and Corrosion of Conformity--share this effort to show the world that hardcore lives in the American South. Well, if this is representative, it not only lives, it thrives! The cassette's cover sums it up: it shows a Rebel flag being burned. -Tim Yohannon (from Maximum Rock'n'Roll #4, January/February 1983)
