Diligently trouping on in its stance against THE MAN, Midlands-based indie label/franchise Artists Against Success has announced details of the world's first "online compilation album."
Entitled 'Now That's What I Call VALID', the album features tracks from The Fighting Cocks, Cuban Boys, and MJ Hibbett and the Validators, who all performed at Scalarama two weeks ago. It also features Europa, Wandrin' Allstars, Frankie Machine, Lazer Guided, Johnny Domino, Pala, Saloon, Sienna, Stumble, Twinkie, The Chemistry Experiment, and The Company Song.
Says label head Mark Hibbett: "The Internet, Napster, Free Music, ALL THAT - whooo, scary isn't it? FINALLY people are waking up the FACT that they have been RIPPED OFF by an international CARTEL that for YEARS has been charging £14 for shoddily packaged, ill thought out, gluttonously marketed TAT with perhaps 2 decent songs on it which actually costs LESS THAN A POUND to manufacture."
The intention behind 'Now That's What I Call VALID' is to give the kids "something that takes a snapshot of some of the best ARTISTS making exciting new music at the moment. Something that's still FREE."
The album can be downloaded complete with sleeve artwork, notes, and links to info on each band at the Artists Against Success website now.
