Indie Pop Vol 9

My Obsession with The Inspiral Carpets continues, but now the sound of Seattle makes its presense felt. New Bands to my Indie Pop compilation;

U2, Morrissey, Carter USM, Nervana, The Frank And Walters, The Cure,

EMF, Adorable, Catherine Wheel, and Blur

All the new bands can found on the web, it should be noted that just because it's their first appearance on my Indie Pop compilations doesn't mean that I wasn't all ready into them.

Trudy can be found here http://www.tlmb.net/thetrudy/ 'Destination Love' is their only appearance so far. Spitfire who I know nothing about. Swerve Driver http://www.myspace.com/swervedriver and there is plenty moer on the web about them. The Pale Saints can be found http://www.myspace.com/bandnamepsaints worth a quick look I think.

Indie Pop Vol 6


We must be around 1990 now, as Robert Lloyd And The New Four Season only had 3 official releases between 1988 and 1990, I think the tracks that feature on my compilations are from a Peel Session?
The only track by The Ogdens is on this Volume (although I've just found another on the web so It may feature on Vol 162) Rachel Put Your Arms Around Me is an absulute classic in my book (the video is on YouTube), if only there was a band out there making music like this.
The Lemonheads make their first appearance of many.
