The World Cup Goes Indie
Thanks to @adrianrussell (www.adrianrussell.net) and @fistedaway (fistedaway.wordpress.com) and Kevin at Indiecater Records for contacting me about this World Cup and Music project…
It’s always a pleasure when I can get to write about some decent music and today I have that chance.
Indiecater is a small record label in Dublin who put together the following compilation album of World Cup songs. There are 32 tracks in all, one for each country appearing at the tournament.
” Fast Forward is our most ambitious project to date and it has taken over a year to come to fruition. The premise was simple; we asked some of our favourite bands to write about one of the 32 countries participating in South Africa 2010, the only stipulation being that the song be themed on their chosen country and if possible be football related. As you can imagine this definition was interpreted in about 32 different ways but the results are as colourful, imaginative and exciting as the event they will be used to showcase.”
