I have no clue how I got hold of this. I've never been much of a crust collector, and Auch is such a tiny commune in southwestern France. It'd be like someone not only pulled together a comp of ska bands from Mount Vernon, WA. And yet...
This is the second of three "Voices" compilations springing from the Gers Valley, a rural area known as the largest producer of foie gras in France. Is that the reason Auch was able to turn out Auchardcore? What sounds small-town kids create in their local bubbles will never not be interesting to me, even if it's taking place in a language foreign to me.
A note: this is missing the last track on the comp, Death Buring's "The Gates of Kthulu". Despite it appearing on both the track listing and the Discogs page, my copy, factory pressed and otherwise pristine, was missing this cut. A shame; I'll always geek out to a Lovecraftian crust jam.
