Album Review: Various Artists - Punktastic Off The Rails: Volume 1

Before I go any further I want to address those who are probably thinking "why is Alter The Press reviewing a Punktastic compilation? I thought they were in competition/disliked each other?" Well you'd be wrong. Like many sites similar to ours, we have a mutual respect for Punktastic and like some of the ATP team (including myself), would of never have known about Alter The Press if it wasn't for Punktastic's constantly active forum. Anyway on with the music...

For over 10 years now, Punktastic has kept its ear close to the ground and very much knows what's up and coming in the UK independent rock/punk scene. 'Off The Rails: Volume 1' is the first (I presume) of several compilations and continues this trend, as the 20 tracks found here not only highlight the sites ability to bring the best in UK music, but also more importantly how thriving the UK music scene is at present.
