Today, Omnivore Records released Volume 26 of International Pop Overthrow, a three-disc compilation packed with 66 tunes by artists from all over the world that have played the International Pop Overthrow festival and a few who haven't but may be on a future lineup.
These compilations go back to 1998 when the festival first started. Volume 1 was a single disc CD. Eventually, the compilations featured two CDs. In 2002, when Volume 5 was released, it had three CDs, and it has been that way ever since.
Volume 26 features artists from across the globe performing pretty much every sub-genre of pop music including power pop, pop/rock, folk/pop, psychedelic pop, garage, indie-rock, and modern rock!
Even though the International Pop Overthrow festival is essentially a showcase for unsigned bands, these compilations have featured signed acts including Jason Falkner (Jellyfish, Beck), Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs), Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Jellyfish, Beck, St. Vincent), Peter Holsapple (The dB’s), Marvin Etzioni (Lone Justice), and Shoes.
Volume 26 features tunes by Tsar, The Beckies (Michael Brown of The Left Banke), Kimberley Rew (The Soft Boys, Katrina And The Waves), The Pranks (featuring Jeffrey Foskett from the Brian Wilson Band), and more!
This volume also features someone you've seen on Generation Clash many times which is Cosmo Topper! He's known for working with Burning Sensations and Andy And The Rattlesnakes. His tune, "Just Say Know" features Probyn Gregory from Weird Al's band and Nelson Bragg from Brian Wilson's band and Mark Englert from Dramarama,
David Bash has been releasing these compilations since 1998 and they are packed with music that you need to hear. He's been keeping these genres alive by sharing this music. I can't wait to hear next year's compilation!
If there's any release you should check out on this New Music Friday, it's the latest volume of International Pop Overthrow.
