This compilation was released in 1993, and it is far between the good bands. Straight edge-punk had it’s uprising in Norway and challenged the rest of the punk movement, before it all ended around 1995.

The compilation consists of only 7 bands playing 22 songs. The band Xantippe released a superb demo, which is included here. So too is Svartidaðir, with their ironic lyrics about punk and drunkenness. At the time they had already released a demo with an amateurish sound that fitted them. Angst, which also is included, was an HC-band, and released an EP on the German label; HearFirst Records. 

A review in Rock Furore (#20/93) said the following: ”Snack Ohm has released another compilation with primitive rehearsal-like punk-bands. Angst and Paranoia @ Panorama are the best known - they have previously released an EP each. Other bands also contribute; Nasse Nøff, Svartidauðir and Femur Fractur (what a name!), with HC and messy punk that could been released in ’84, when Snack Ohm first started. A highpoint is the Bergen-based girl band Xantippe (now breaking up?) with their charactariztic and up to date music.”(J R Bruun)

This release is sadly not available on CD-R any longer.
