This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Maybe it’s because of the dreary weather, or maybe it’s despite it, but Scotland sure seems to have an overabundance of sunny pop bands.
At least, that’s judging by the 16 acts on this compilation from Glasgow indie label Creeping Bent. From Nectarine No. 9’s T-Rexstacy and Secret Goldfish’s girl-group updates to The Leopards’ Iggy-at-the-hop rock and Appendix Out’s Beatles-esque acoustipop, there’s barely a ballad in the bunch. If there’s ever been a reason to get Bent, this is it.
