"UNDER THE RADAR" is definitely a fitting name for Antidote's nearly 80-minute compilation, which features 22 artists from around the world with whom I was not familiar. Most of the tracks are dark, heavy, rock 'n' roll-drenched tunesand some are quite good, including: the swaggering and tough tracks from Clark County Daredevils and The Unsatisfied; The FuryHeat! sound is nicely psychotic and demented; The Secret Cervix are mean and hard, singing about a girlfriend who's "a walking infection" (wink wink); the hardcore of Crybaby Bridge and Valdez; the very Danzig-like (musically, at least) Spectremen; and the rockabilly-infused track from Hallowmas, whose singer recalls our dear Glenn. Still, as with most comps, there are a few clunkers, like those from the unlistenable Tears for the Dying and Dark Humor. -Janelle Jones
