Young Angry Bands Unite was a compilation gathering different underground acts from Manila, this noble endeavour was the work of Mr. John John Serna, vocalist from the primitive punk band Drastic Noise and head honcho from the United Hate record label.
Apparently, United Hate did the artistic supervision, selecting the different bands appearing on the comps, and the whole project was dealt with a local major label, Aquarius Records, for manufacturing and distributing the tapes in shopping malls and retail stores. Note that in the early 90s, major labels were interested in producing all those indie acts, smelling there was probably some cash to be made with that trend...
Unfortunately for Aquarius Records, what we have here is a compilation of rough, tuneless, inept and primitive third world punk, and it seems they completely missed their target audience with that tape, indie crowds would not listen to such crap, and the true DIY punks dissed J.J. Serna and United Hate being a sellout working with a major label... Catch 22.
As this tape was some sort of commercial failure and was not properly distributed back then, there are still large unsold quantities sleeping in boxes in some warehouse in Manila to this day.
Anyway, all additional information or disambiguation is welcome...
I really like the music, basic, simple and direct Philippine punk at work here.
Tribal Fish was an all-girl band playing a mix of female grunge and punk, they had a full lenght album later.
Bands like Bangugot Ni Juan, Violent Offender, Drastic Noise, Subliminal and eventually Screaming Beggars venture into a weird primitive and undefined hard core territory.
