Reviews:

Here's a hot new band called Channel Three. They've got that great L.A. hardcore sound - loud, fast, and intense! A nice Poshboy production makes the guitar attack really sharp and biting. The first cut is called "Manzanar". It's about America's concentration camps. During World War 2 all Japanese Americans on the West Coast were rounded up on 48 hours notice and sent to live in concentration camps way out in the middle of nowhere. Manzanar was a camp located near Death Valley. My father and his family were sent there. In this country you're supposed to have lots of freedom and stuff, and there's a "Bill of Rights" that's supposed to guarantee it, but incidents like this prove you don't always get it. The four other songs on this record sound great too, so be sure and check it out.
-Tim Toonoka, from Ripper #5, 1981
