You remember when DESKONOCIDOS dropped, right? The South Valley punks had converged on Austin and the Dallas punks had made the predictable generational migration and they all kicked the Austin punks in the ass and holy fuck did the rest of us get some really good bands out of the arrangement. The DESKONOCIDOS full length is a true modern classic to my ears, but it had been a (long) while since I had pumped the early recordings compiled on this 2010 cassette. Nothing sounded like it then, even while you can hear the bands they were listening to in their own sound/s. And does it hold up....? Fifteen years after these songs appeared, I'm sitting in a sun bathed third floor apartment and I am all in. Again. So yeah...it hold up, amd I'm grateful.
