After being for eight years on the business, Commitment Records releases it's 25th release,
and that is reason enough to make this release something special. This compilation contains
ten mostly unreleased songs of Commitment bands past and present; featured are Cross Me,
GuidingLine, Fairfight, X-Men, Vitamin X, North, Kids Like Us, One X More, Reaching Forward
and Product X and, as you probably already expected: it's ten times of positive straight
edge hardcore. The compilation comes with a 20-page booklet with the story behind all the
records that have been put out on Commitment so far, and a lot of photos. The front cover drawing is
again done by Michiel Uppercut. This compilation is also a benefit for Adele 'I Stand Alone'
Collins.
REVIEWS
Maximum Rock N Roll #274, USA.
This release celebrates the 25th release of Commitment Records. Being a retrospective of sorts,
this EP contains ten songs (most previously unreleased) by the following bands from the Commitment
rooster: CROSS ME, GUIDING LINE, FAIRFIGHT, X-MEN, VITAMIN X, NORTH, KIDS LIKE US, ONEXMORE,
REACHING FORWARD, and PRODUCT X. It also contains a pretty cool (and thick) booklet with
background infos and anecdotes about the first 25 Commitment releases, as well as a lot of photos.
This comp has also been made to help raise aid for Adele Collins, the editor of I Stand Alone fanzine,
who suffers from a very serious - and expensive - spinal tumor. Pick this one up. The music is good,
and it's for a great cause for a great person.
Never Say Die #12, Singapore.
This is the 25th release from Commitment so Robert decided to make this release a memorable one. This
compilation 7" contains ten mostly unreleased songs of Commitment bands both past and present. Bands like
Cross Me, GuidingLine, Fairfight, X-Men, Vitamin X, North, Kids Like Us, One X More, Reaching Forward
and Product X. Such an awesome line up of bands for a compilation, don't you think? So let's X up and mosh
to the beat! The best part of this compilation is the 20 page booklet containing some infos about
Commitment Records releases. This compilation is also a benefit for Adele Collins, the editor of I Stand
Alone zine whom is diagnosed with a disease called pseudo-tumor. Check out the small article written by
her friend Posi-Ben about Adele. Support this compilation buy buying it and also in return you're helping
Adele too. Recommended!
