Album DescriptionAvailable in:
I wanted to document some of the promising young bands representing a new generation of musicians – many of whom were born long after me. Many were raised on the music of the seventies or have feverishly devoured the music of my youth through used record bins and internet file sharing. This compilation represents some of my favorite new bands who are representing that seventies vibe with a new sheen, many showing their musical prowess in blending several styles of heavy music together in seamless fashion. I may sound sacrilegious, but many of these bands are probably better than their peers from the seventies, having benefited from nearly fifty years of musical influence to help perfect their sound.
Most of the bands selected for this compilation are, at the moment, unsigned or committed to small labels for one or two releases. I have every confidence that some, given the quality of their music, will grow into legends themselves, and listeners like you will look back on this era as your time of musical awakening. I hope this compilation helps you to appreciate the historic phenomenon as it continues unfolding before us. Please support these bands and any others you discover in this retro revolution.
