The album starts at the beginning with cool bands like Talulah Gosh, The Flatmates, Blueboy, Primal Scream, McCarthy, 14 Iced Bears and The Springfields, releasing on trailblazing DIY labels such as Sarah Records, The Subway Organization and Creation. We go through the influential C86 cassette years, to the more commercial late 1980's sounds of The Primitives, The Soup Dragons and The Darling Buds. Navigating through the 1990's with the underrated brilliance of Heavenly, the flourishing Scottish scene including amongst others BMX Bandits and The Vaselines, plus Stateside the Indie Pop sounds of Velocity Girl and Blake Babies breaking through. Into the 2000's and the US scene was producing brilliant bands in the shape of Dum Dum Girls and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, alongside from the side of the pond Underground bands like Joanna Gruesome, The Spook School and Veronica Falls. The compilation ends with a glimpse into the bright future of indie pop with the likes of The Goon Sax, The Lost Days and Ribbon Stage.
