Indie Label Special Part 1: Dance To The Radio Release Third Compilation; bands on it really good.

Leeds talent hegemony Dance To The Radio (that label what Whiskas from Forward Russia co-curates) is to release its third compilation in April.

Entitled Something I Learned Today (five points for the lyrical reference), the 15-track CD will be available in all good shops from April 2^nd. You can also get it digitally online and for pre-order from www.recordstore.co.uk.

The CD is the far widest-ranging release in the series so far, with acts from Germany, United States, Sweden and, gracious, Nottingham.

The tracklisting (with a brief overview) is as follows:

1. Grammatics - 'The Shipping Forecast'

Ex-Colour of Fire man with new hardcore-flavoured tuneful offering. Very good indeed.

3. Read Yellow - 'Pia Zadora'

New Leeds trio who’ve just released their debut single serve up an exclusive track,

Stunning Bradford singer-songwriter of much ethereal beauty.

9. :( - 'Codes'

Post 8-bit screamo kids from Aberdeen offer bleepcore pop goodness.

13. Lions Of SWE - 'Whatever Happened To Emilio Estevez?'
