Let’s face it, most soundtracks suck! But who ever managed to arrange this one knew what they hell they were doing by signing up Girls Against Boys to provide most of the music. 

Fans of Girls Against Boys previous albums “Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby”, “Cruise Yourself”, “House of GVSB” and their major label debut “Freak*on*ica” will find some familiar elements to the songs here, but for the most part the songs are instruments that take a softer 80’s alt-rock new wave approach. The vocal songs like “One Dose of Truth” tow the alt-rock line without sounding dated.  “Tweaker”, pulsates with a techno beat and punkish vocals.  Of the instrumentals “Dramatic Re-Creation” tops the list with a moving rhythm that really sparks the imagination. 

Other artists like Joy Division contribute music to the soundtrack that complements the classic new wave alternative sound. MenKing’s “Wedding Serenade” sounds a bit like a late 80’s power ballad and Julie Stephanek and Eli Janney provide the beautiful ballad “Sweetness of Mine”. 

The premise of the movie is a reality based television show where the contestants are given weapons and the last one standing wins….  Survivor to the extreme and the music should do a good job of setting the mood while not causing the audience to compulsively bang their heads.

Grabbed this one as i happen to be a diehard GVSB fan; songs like "one dose of truth" & "tweaker" are definite musts for GVSB fans & they should provide a great listening for people who vaguely dig their sound, too.
