"All I have to say is that I fisrt heard The Living End about four years ago and they are still my favorte band today. As a seasoned music lover, I have to admite these guys really know what music is all about. not only are they incredibly musically talented, but they also have the uncanny ability to NOT sound like everyone else. Like oh migod! thats the greatest part. Mainstream music is built to find a sound that people react to and make everyone else sound just like it so they make more money. the tight thing about these punks is they are more talented than any of the pop junk thats out there now and they have such a distinct sound, a quality of music that has been sadly missed for a few decades. These guys deserve more props than they have, Joe Strummer sould be proud!"

These Aussies know where it's at.

"Powerful Lyrics! Great Music! True Talent, these guys are awesome! Personal Fav: Headlines. Punk? I don't know, more like pure Rock, they have a sound that is unlike most today. They are great live. Roll On and The Living End, show how much they have developed as artists (the drummer was a diff guy on Hellbound). Poetry put to music. Comparing them to Green Day, is a waste of time. The Living End is in a class all their own."

I have this on 2 seperate CDs Hmm.

"The living end have been amongst the aussie rock scene for ten years now and have yet to dissapoint.This cd (or in my case 2 different Eps)were just the beginning for these guys,It doesnt have the same borderline commercial edge the later stuff does but thats not what matters.What matters are that these guys have Talent and a lot of it,Alot of bands these days get success with 3 chords mediocre songwriting and awful lyrics,This band have far surpassed all that.Here we have 12 (or 6 depending on which Format you picked them up)tracks.The first disc in my view is alot better especially the instrumental track hellbound which shows the band at thier most creative.I was even pleasantly surprised to see a Cure Cover (10:15 saturday night)amongst them.If you are looking for 3 chord pop with songs about ex girlfriends and skateboards avoid this band,They are far beyond that.They are 3 brilliant musicians making great pyscho/punk/rockabilly style music.Hell even elvis fans would probably enjoy it."
