V/A - Quincy Shanks Sampler #5 (Quincy Shanks)

Reviewed by Mark Oster

Well, 6 of the tracks on here feature 3 of the bands already reviewed, so I won't sweat that, though it's I do have to say that this CD is worth holding on to (they are handed out at most shows where a QS artist is performing) on account that Blackprint's "Juliette's Window" may not come out anywhere else, to the best of my knowledge. Another unreleased treat on this comp is "Subclass" from Littleman Complex, fronted by local superman Ryan Durkin of HeWhoCorrupts, a minute long blast of punk fury. As with any comp, this is worth a listen, you may not like everything, but there's probably a tune in there to make the couple of bucks you throw down for it worth your while.
