v/a - A tribute to Leatherface

This is a tribute to the best band in the world. Hell fuckin’ yeah! I don’t want to read any arguments against that. Leatherface is the most amazing band. Ever. EVER!
This record was announced some years ago and it finally hit the streets in 2008. And it was worth the wait, goddammit! Two discs packed in a beautifully designed card gatefold jacket with great pictures and a whopping 42 tracks. You can see that a lot of love and energy has been put in this project. Inspiring.
Unfortunately, not all the tracks do The Boat justice. I personally think that one disc with no more than 30 tracks (the good ones) would have been more than enough. The bands that definately make this tribute a sonic feast for all Leatherface fans are A Death In The Family, The Great St. Louis, Radon, Wat Tyler, Monikers, Hot Water Music, The Rosie Jones Band, The Tim Version, Chuck Ragan, Drunk, Open Sewage, Anthem Red, Nothing In Common and Tiltwheel. The only Dutch band on this comp didn’t let us down either. The Tenement Kids do an absolutely breathtaking version of “Pandora’s Box”. Well down lads!
Get this! For the sake of good music.
