Get ready for some serious Hollywood vibes with General The Sound Of Hollywood Vol. 2: Destroy L.A.! This compilation record, released in 1983 by Mystic Records and the fanzine Destroy LA (Alternative Beat), is an absolute gem. It features two awesome BR songs, “Waiting For The Fire” and “Every Day,” both written by the talented Graffin. “Waiting For The Fire” even made a comeback on “It Ain’t My War!”, another Mystic Records compilation. According to Brett, these songs give you a taste of what their new stuff (Into The Unknown) is all about.
Now, let’s dive into the tracklist and get ready to groove! We’ve got S.V.D.B. with “Chain Reaction,” Shattered Faith with “Rise & Fall,” Still Life tearing it up with “Tearin Me Up,” and The F-Beat making us dance with “Oughta Be Dancing.” Red Scare comes in strong with “Drag The Lake,” followed by Bad Religion’s “Waiting For The Fire.” Red Scare keeps the energy going with “Keep America Beautiful,” and Circle One brings the heat with “Hate, Lust, Filth, & Greed.” Battalion Of Saints gets us all sweaty with “Sweaty Little Girls,” while 10,000 Hurts serves up some “Fruit Loops.” Bad Religion returns with “Every Day,” and The F-Beat keeps us sharing with “Sharin.” S.V.D.B. brings the heat with “Melt Down,” and 10,000 Hurts takes us on a wild ride with “Abandon.” W√ºrm brings the darkness with “Black Swan,” and Shattered Faith wraps things up with “Last Name First.”
