"This is the first release from Upstart Toronto oi / punk label Insurgence Records. This CD features 19 bands from 9 countries playing an hour's worth of politically-charged, in-your-face music. It contains released and unreleased versions of songs by the Blastcaps, Street Troopers, the Oppressed, Blaggers ITA, Les Partisans, Pinkerton Thugs and more. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Anti-Fascist Prisoners Welfare Fund, so help smash Nazism and get a copy of this CD." (Rob Ferraz)

"This is the premier release from Insurgence Records out of Toronto. (They have since put out other releases.) If you've ever visited their website or seen them with a booth at select shows you'll know what this is all about. If not, read on... Lyrically and ideologically this compilation comes from the leftist, antifa, SHARP, etc., camp. So you'd be correct if you guessed that most bands had songs dealing with worker rebellion, anti-facism, and whatnot. The bands come from all over the world and as such not all songs are sung in english. This never detracted from a good song, however! As with most compilations there are some very good tracks and others which will not appeal to you. Still, if you're into the message or are looking for a comprehensive collection of this type of music look no further. Standout bands: Street Troopers, the Oppressed, Los Fastidos."
