 Downloaded: Essential Indie Rock Alternatives $14.49 This is a great compilation of songs by artists most of whom I'd never heard of (besides Bloc party, Babyshambles, The Kills and the Libertines). Opening track 'Retreat' by The Rakes is a catchy dance/rock song a-la The Killers or Franz Ferdinand, complete with buzzing guitars. A great way to start this collection. Other outstanding tracks are 'Do everything I taught you' by Alterkicks, the jangling guitars of 'Drink to moving on' by Grand National, the sunny, upbeat 'Killamangiro' by Babyshambles (Pete Doherty's band) which bears more than a passing similarity to former bandmates The Libertines 'What becomes of the likely lads' (present on this compilation too). There's the Courtney Love-like 'Feel me loud' by Be your own PET, the eerie acoustic 'Voices' by Espers, the upbeat Smiths channelling 'Once upon a time' by The Boyfriends, the catchy 'Mirror Kissers' by Cribs, and 'Love is a deserter' by the Kills with its pulsing guitars. The CD title really says it all. Truly essential!! |
