Various Artists - Swollen Lungs Volume One

Date Listened: 8/17/14

Genre: Screamo

Thoughts: 7 inches, 21 bands, 9-and-a-half minutes. Pro: you get to hear a ton of awesome bands in a short amount of time. Con: Most of the tracks fail to arrest you on first listen. Still, this compilation is way cool. Only a third of the album scrobbles (what's up, last.fm?), and a couple songs don't even crack 15 seconds. This is great for a quick introduction to a bunch of bands or for those with debilitatingly short attention spans. 7/10

21 bands, over 9 minutes of solid audio showing what they can do with tracks 30 seconds or less. If you're into this, the compilation is being pressed and they're planning on distributing out the records to the contributing artists. head to the bandcamp and support this gem.
