… And for some reason, so are we. Alternative Control will release Quality Control: Volume I in early summer, showcasing tracks from twenty hand-picked bands we’ve reviewed, interviewed, or enjoyed. (Okay, and a few bands that our writers are in…) Most are from Connecticut and most are metal, but we will spread our tentacles, er, CDs into New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Five hundred discs will be printed, featuring artwork by the talented illustrator Jim Clegg. Final track list is coming in early June… Stay tuned!
Also, keep an ear out for Skumbagh Productions‘ upcoming comp, and the CT Metal Alliance album that was released earlier this month. There are a lot of great things going on in Connecticut!
How awesome! Look forward to hearing more news!
There’s also an awesome (mostly punk) compilation that came out just before Christmas 2012 (full disclosure, yes, The Midnightmares are one it) It’s called “It Came From Connecticut” and also features kick-ass bands like The Defcon 5, Sadplant, The Lost Riots, WristLikeThis!, and the Hulls, amongst others. 🙂
