Music To Cuddle To
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Awright!! This 12-song compilation is a refreshing collection of good material. Variety abounds, with the melodic pop punk of Restricted Division and the pseudo swing of The W's "The Devil Song" (demo version of the song before they were signed), girl-fronted swing from Moffett, plus the ska-influenced punk rock of Five Men Down. My favorites are probably Against The Flow's "Keep The Faith," the modern hard edge of Human Industry's "Nearer To Your Sphere," and the infectious "Life Story" by Restricted Division. A good collection for sampling a dozen deserving indie bands. Very impressive. For ordering info, write: Cuddlefish Recordings, PO Box 2663, West Lafayette IN 47906
