    Broken Flag is an excellent and very varied label that continues to throw surprises. Much more than just a power electronics label, and it's easy to see why all the releases are so collectable.

      I would recommend everyone interested to get the first issue of "As Loud As Possible" zine (stated as zine but has a staggering 166 pages in total). It has very in-depth Broken Flag story written by Steve Underwood (2) and is an essential read overall.
