Rebels Without Applause-Low End Head Stomp 2000

Let me start by saying that trying to separate Wisconsin and Illinois bands is an extremely difficult task especially when many Chicago bands regularly include places like Madison, Milwaukee, Janesville, Beloit, Appleton, et cetera.....   within their "local"playing circle. Keeping that in mind you will be noticing more regional bands step into the picture and this blog. I saw a physical version of this cd go for over $500.00 recently online and I'm sorry folks but that is ridiculous. It made me really wish I never traded mine off when i was in the middle of a big effort purging anything that resembled nu-metal from my collection. Since then I've reobtained some of those that I missed and this would have been one of them had the price tag been more reasonable. Before the purging however, I did make a decent 192 rip of this to tide me over and it is that i present to you now. I believe you are able to purchase a 320 rip from Amazon for around 10.00 and if you like this -please support the band by doing so.


Here's a review written by an Amazon customer who describes it way better than i can/could.
