Holiday Compilation

Indiecater is putting out a Xmas compilation with some pretty clever song titles and who says you can’t have too much holiday cheer in the form of music. Now if I could only remember to lay off of the eggnog, I should be good. Here’s more, plus, Bill Baird from Sound Team is on the list:

2008 has been our most exciting year and by a strange coincidence it has also been our first one too! After several reissues and compilations we now present our last release of 2008 and it’s a cracker, a Christmas cracker to be precise. ‘An Indiecater Christmas’ is the work of 17 brilliant bands from all over the world. As you’d expect some have been very clever in taking potshots, others have played it straight down the middle and then there are some who’ve clearly never heard what an archetypal Christmas song sounds like! That said we think it’s magic and a great addition to the canon of Christmas releases that you will be able to return to every December. As ever with indiecater releases the majority of the income from the sale of this album goes straight back to source so while you dance around the yuletide log you can also be assured that you’ll also be warming the pockets of these talented acts. Happy Christmas and here’s to a great 2009!
