If It Feels Good Do It - A Sloan Tribute
by Futureman Records
supported by 11 fans who also own “Anna Borg”
For me and my crusty, ringing ears, the tribute album lost it's charm long ago. But once in a while, there's still one that hits it outta the park. When the subject is as great as SLOAN, it's a can't lose proposition. I've never heard the majority of the acts here (tho I'm a big fan of Fireking), but damned if I hear a duff track on this set. If you're already a fan of the Halifax Heroes don't think twice, nab this 31 track monster! Another winner from Futureman.

Norwegian power pop outfit founded by members of black n' roll heavyweights Kvelertak strike a perfect balance between catchy and caustic.

Twelve nervy power pop tracks punctuated by hairpin chord changes that arrive like sucker punches.

Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts.

The New Sell Out

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century.
