Weekly Independent Music Taster #92

This week's compilation album is dedicated to a good friend of AB Records, Jamie Tongue, the late guitarist and songwriting genius of British indie rockers The Aim. Alongside his best mate Grant Judges, they wrote and performed some incredible music with an all-star cast of fantastic musicians backing them up. Their most recent single, 'The Rise and Fall', is featured as the lead track here. As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music. More so this week, it would be incredible to get this release climbing the Bandcamp chart and get 'The Rise and Fall' to Number 1 on The AB Independent Top 20. Let's get Jamie and The Aim into more ears than ever before.

Alongside The Aim, we also welcome back the New Romantic synthwave of Liverpool's Double Echo and the electrifying blues rock of Vancouver's Mud Bay Blues Band. Save Henry return with their take on rootsy southern rock, Mike Stapleton brings some gritty folk rock and Pete Haydon reminds us of the joys of prog rock. Big Stir Records bring us more powerpop brilliance from Danny Wilkerson and our new collaborators, More Than Folk Records, contribute for the first time ever with Opium Dream Estate. We will hear more from them in the coming weeks!

Acoustic folk punk extraordinaire The Sam Chase contributes two songs, as do Texan roots rockers The Watters. Sam delivers a solo track and also one with his backing band The Untraditional. There is a soulful infusion from The Watters and also a 'golden oldie' from an older project of theirs, The Oak Creek Band.

Elsewhere, we have the splatter power-surf of The Terrorsurfs, the banjo-infused alt country of Georgie Fisher and the Townes-esque folk of An American Forrest. There is traditional musings from Lady Spruce, spaghetti western soundscapes from Chester Bonney and swampy gunk blues from Uncle Wormwood. Phantom Ocean give us loud garage punk, The No! race through some skate punk and Calista Kazuko brings us some deeply noir cabaret. This week's offering winds down with the indie folk singer/songwriter of Russell A Bave, the garage indie rock of Hidden Knives and the experimental Covid-era punk of Zeed Stun.

Special thank you to all the artists involved and the music lovers that keep coming back to AB Records every week.

Rest in peace, Jamie, this one is for you.
