local music love

for anyone in the triangle area who is sort of intrigued by the concept of local music, but doesn't know where to begin, a new comp aimed at local college kids is a good place to start. the cd release party fun for heard together began last night with the sames, portastatic, the comas, and the rosebuds at the cradle--all the bands were in top form, all had great new material, and the rosebuds nearly rocked the roof off. other bands appearing on the comp play tongiht at local 506 (schooner, gerty, some others) and saturday night at the cave. click that link for info and track listings--even though the font is hella hard to read, i have ascertained that these songs are all pretty awesome.

another great local comp is the compulation that pox world empire put out a year or so ago--all new stuff from all amazing bands, and volume two is in the works (i am sooo excited for volume two). i can't praise the compulation highly enough--it was required listening in my car for months on end and some of my most-played itunes tracks are from it. :)

both of these cds should be available in local record stores, if you're curious.
