SHOCK ROCK

WALL OF SOUND/PIAS

CD

(FEBRUARY 2007)

Revolutionary compilation album featuring fifteen pioneers of the new wave of music, where guitar bands use synths and dance bands play live.

These days, guitar bands are using synths more than ever, dance music is played live, electronic beats writhe under live bass whilst drums and woodblocks and cowbells tussle with samplers – the twin worlds of indie and dance are locked in a sweaty mess under the glare of a thousand glowsticks and it sounds amazing.

To celebrate this musical revolution Wall of Sound are excited to announce the release of ‘Shock Rock’, their revolutionary compilation album featuring fifteen pioneers of this new wave of groups, utterly disparate and yet united in their disdain for the traditional band template.

The hugely influential Wall Of Sound label saw this coming a long time ago, and have been championing the open minded ethic of mixing musical styles for years. Their residency “Love & Good Times” at London’s palace of debauchery “Fabric” has been the stuff of legend – endless nights of lasers, smoke and serotonin-stealing beats, where live bands are as important, if not more so, than the DJs.
