V/A INTRO (Version 1): International Punk Rock Compilation cassette
A whopping 57-track compilation crammed onto a 90 minute cassette. Some real heavy-hitters on this. Pretty much every current lo-fi garage/egg-punk-infused band you could possibly care about (and a bunch you likely don’t) all make an appearance—TELEGENIC PLEASURE, BZDET, SPRGRS, OK SATÁN, ISMATIC GURU, GOBLIN DAYCARE, and so many more notable names. If you like any of these bands, or are familiar with the XTRO label, then you likely know what you’re in for. If you aren’t familiar, then get to work! Only downside, and I say this with most XTRO releases, is that their cassettes are always so incredibly limited that it makes tracking down physical media a bit of a bear, with most of their releases limited to a mere 25 copies. I would hope that a compilation like this would be made in much larger quantities, but seeing as how the label’s Bandcamp says it’s already sold out, I somewhat doubt it.
