Taking Out A Little Aggression – A Tribute

Originally released in July 2007 by Dr. Strange Records, Taking Out A Little Agression – A Tribute is a blistering, star-studded homage to one of the pioneering pillars of Oxnard, California’s legendary “Nardcore” and skate-punk scenes: Agression. Over two years in the making, the compilation serves as a massive family reunion for old-school underground punk rock. It transitions between hyper-fast skate punk and grinding hardcore, with a heavyweight roster including JFA, D.I., MDC Unplugged, Fang, Channel 3, Shattered Faith, Verbal Abuse, and McRad all putting their own distinctive, aggressive spins on their favorite Agression tracks. Influenced heavily by the late Mark Hickey’s original blend of street-level hostility and beach-town skate culture, the album stands out as an indispensable time capsule for fans of early ’80s hardcore. It’s a loud, fast, and heartfelt salute that brilliantly honors a foundational punk legacy.
