		Closely following Splendid E-Zine's own musical hypothesis, AMP Records shows the world that there's more to punk than trashy teenage garage rockers from the suburbs of America -- they're also practicing in flats and tenements throughout the world. Want guitar? Want pounding drums? Want raspy, gravelly vocals? You got it! With a strong emphasis on the thriving European/Scandinavian scenes, Back to Rockaway Beach 2 includes the extra thick 'n' chunky guitars of Sex Sex Sex's "Blood Surfing," as they dish out enough punk 'n' rawk for any diehard fan. Equally as impressive is Germany's Germ Attack and their meditative muddlings on "My City," with grating samples of sirens and traffic to give you that down home feelin'! The good ol' U.S. of A. has its own stake on this here aluminum platter as well, as the Bullys and Stompwater whisk through thrash-induced garage mayhem. With a total of 28 tracks, there are plenty of kick-ass tunes on here to get your moolah’s worth -- no ands, ifs, buts or bullshit about it.
