Who:  XTRMST

What:  Debut EP of straightedge California hardcore featuring current AFI members; self-released by the band.

Why:  To make up for all that selling out AFI did in the last decade.

[The Radness Average (or star rating) is derived from assigning each song a number of stars based on a 1-5 scale, then adding the total number of stars, and then dividing that number of total stars by the number of songs on the record. A Radness Average of 4.0 or higher indicates a good or great record. A Radness Average of 2.0 or less indicates pure crap. Everything else is in the middle somewhere.]

Verdict:  For me, it was a nostalgia trip back to the early 2000s and happy memories of Indecision Records and Orange County hardcore. Your experience may differ.
