Release - Various Artists "Born to Skate" tape

This was volume five of what would become seven compilations released by Thrasher Magazine. Most of the bands on here were of the crossover nature. SNFU were from Edmonton and they contributed two tracks. In Chris Walter's book "SNFU...What No One Else Wanted to Say" we learn that David Mockford recorded the two songs in Power Zone Studios. "Time to Buy a Futon" would be a huge song for SNFU thanks in part to this comp. The Stupids were the first band from the UK to have that American skate thrash sound demonstrating to hardcore kids that Thrasher knew something about the hardcore scene. No Mercy were a new band from the Suicidal crib. JFA were one of the original skate thrash bands from Pheonix and Alternative Tentacles did a discography of all their material in a Skate rock series. Excel were a crtossover band from California and Lookout Records would release their first single. The Dehumanizers were from Seattle. Condemned Attitude were the first Attitude Adjustment spin off bands.
