Null And Void (#014)

[DS] [FC]

This week's compilation is an intentionally odd selection of punk and post-punk. Although we generally don't stray from those genres, the mood has a tendency to shift drastically between light and humorous and dark and brooding (and that's just the first two tracks). More often than not though, it's a downright danceable selection. Maybe that's not a word you'd expect to be used here often, and your expectations would be right. Still, it's a fun one. It's weird, but nevertheless manages to be comparatively accessible by BM standards. I think you'll like it. Put it in your ears.
