Jesus, there's about a million different bands crammed into these two CDs.. That's the beauty of most of them writing three minute indie-pop nuggets I guess. The current big guns (aka The Pains of Being Pure At Heart) go up first and from then on you'll be in the company of the likes of Allo, Darlin', Ballboy, Betty & The Werewolves, White Town (!), Shrag, Standard Fare, The Blanche Hudson Weekend, The Just Joans, Veronica Falls, blah blah etc blah. So loads of good indie-pop acts, both well-established and up 'n' coming, for a totally bargain price. I just wish other genres could get dedicated festivals that are half as well curated as this one seems to be 'cos it looks as though they do a pretty top job with it.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
