Now that's a full grown spot-on tribute if there ever was one...! Lots of 'PDX bands' (as I only recently heard 'PDX' is the airport code for Portland...), plenty of European contributions and even some from 'down under' - way to go! The recordings go from extremely lo-fi to well-produced, and from hard rock to surf - and some unexpected right and left turns on the way. Most songs are originally released by Dead Moon, of course, but the one or two you don't know as Dead Moon songs were originally by The Rats, the Western Front or even The Desperate Edge... or, let's not forget, the Lollipop Shoppe!
If anyone knows additional webpages concerning any of these bands, please let me know and I'll link them up from here...!
As soon as we have more (like on distribution in the US and Europe) we'll put it here, so please come back every now & then!
