V/A – the excursion compilation (CD) Excursion Records #21 1996

Here is a nice low cost Excursion Records compilation (cost about 3 bucks) divided in two halfs: first the pop punk things Excursion did and second the hardcore things and was also intended to present the scene in the north west around Seattle and Canada. Some songs are already released on the prior records but there are some demo and unreleased tracks worth listening to. Among them overlooked Jayhawker (7” will follow here) and - da fuckin' bomb - Jough Dawn Baker (everything by them will follow here). Due to the variety and the quality Excursion did in the last century this is really one of my favourite labels from the “glorious” early 90ies (just think of Sleeper/Serpico, Undertow or the total forgotten Brand New Unit).
