Union Underground, The - Live... One Nation Underground (2002)^{Release ID: 29454}

This is a fantastic live EP by forgotten nu metal quartet the Union Underground. Released in 2002, it features six tracks and flies by in 20 minutes, but it’s an adrenaline-packed 20 minutes that doesn’t let up for a moment.

The Union Underground only ever released one album, 2000’s ‘…An Education in Rebellion’, and that was literally one anthem after another, and this live performance perfectly reflects that, with the band smashing through a number of songs, full of energy and youthful vigour. They should have gone so much further than they did.

The sound is really good, the performances are tight, and the set list is great, including such bangers as ‘South Texas Deathride’, ‘Killing the Fly’, ‘Revolution Man’ and their biggest hit, ‘Turn Me On. Mr. Deadman’, but overall, this EP isn’t really worth owning unless you’re a big fan of the band. Their only studio album is an absolute gem from the nu metal scene at the turn of the century, and it’s cheap enough too, so just get that instead.
