Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars essential album for indie rock fans.......2004-03-24

Holiday Matinee Volume II is impressive. This album is essential for anyone who loves indie music but doesn't have a college radio station near by. Even if there is one nearby, this collection gives anyone who's just starting to get into the indie scene a well-rounded introduction to some of the most talented indie bands around at the moment.

In indie music, it's easy to make music that fits the cliché of what an indie band should sound like - lo-fi, whining little boy singers, a mix between muffled and raging power chords, music with seemingly no coherence, quirky keyboard sounds, and random noise from objects not originally intended for musical instruments. http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ While there's some of that in this album, the bands featured generally steer away from the cliches or uses the cliches effectively. This collection combines the genres of electronica, new wave, punk, glam rock, rockabilly, and more.
