New compilation: Various Artists || Heroes Of the Night Vol. 2

Two years ago, Reminder Records kickstarted a campaign to showcase the female pioneers in UK punk, pop and wave of the late ’70s and early ’80s, a time when women fronting bands creating their own music was far from common. They compiled hard to find gems from that era on a compilation called Heroes Of The Night. Volume 1 was released a little less than two years ago. It is a must own.

This morning, I happily found an announcement in my mail that Vol. 2 is out now. It’s just as great – I’ve been playing it nonstop. The compilation is a fun throwback to a time where the lines between punk, powerpop and new wave were blurry, but what stands out is the quality of the songs. There are too many great ones on this compilation to highlight just a couple here. Artists like Brenda Prescott, Terese Del Fuego, The Walk, Jackie, Pleasure Dome bring out the excitement of hearing The Shivvers, Blondie and Holly & The Italians for the first time. The Rochdale Cherries’ cover of Edelweiss (Sound Of Music) is the cherry on top.

Buy this quickly. Trust me, it will be easier and less expensive than trying to find get the individual 7″‘s on discogs.
