about

Independent Music Sampler #130

Aldora Britain Records proudly presents Rock & Roll's Different Shapes & Sizes, an eclectic collection of 25 independent and underground songs from all around the globe. The collection is dedicated to the bass player of the Happy Mondays, Paul Ryder, who passed away in the last week. Our thoughts are with his friends, family and bandmates.

Amongst the selections this week are our good friends The Aim, British garage indie at its finest. We also see the return of the locomotive traditional folk of Graham Hamilton, and the worldly funk-inclined synthpop of Vitaphone. Reglar-Daddy feature again, this time with the COVID-themed outlaw country of Herman Gauche, and Snappy Little Numbers provide the jangly indie pop of Falsetto Boy. A new project from members of Chickenstones and Circus Chaplains also features, the adrenaline-fuelled garage rock of Sonic Garage.

As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.

Tom @ Aldora Britain Records

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
