UK punk heroes Abrasive Wheels team up with Philadelphia newcomers The Up Up Ups. 

Abrasive Wheels, while never achieving the widespread presence of many of their contemporaries, have remained in the punk history for no other reason that they are really, really good. Their two contributions here, “Nothing to Prove” and “Find Your Heart” are solidly in the bands oeuvre. As the band bashes out tunes that walk the line between first wave punk and street punk, they take care to keep solid songwriting and melody underneath their high energy attack. As we all know, Punk for the most part is just rock and roll played fast, and Abrasive Wheels display the virtue of this by keeping things catchy and aggressive. Both tracks are on the positive bend and circle around the concept of focusing on who you are, not what everything else is, but due to the band’s pragmatic view mired in their optimism, the track comes off a inspired instead of preachy. Well done.

On the flipside, new comers the Up! Up! Ups! Make a good case as to why they are making a name for themselves on Philly. Propelled by high charged classic rock sound, the band takes snap and catchiness of early rock acts like Wanda Jackson and Jerry Lee Lewis and shoot that through an Adverts/Rezillos exterior, creating a sound that is as fresh as it is reverent for the classics... - Punknews.org
