The Indie Vigils

THE INDIE VIGILS is the alternative compilation for real indie fans, shining a teasing light onto the very birth of this Great British genre and following the alternative side of its evolution through a period when indie music was so much more substance over style.

Kicking off with the The Times' cover of New Order's 'Blue Monday', 'The Indie Vigils' is a new digital download only compilation from Cherry Red which features 25 unapologetic Indie Anthems.

Look forward to appearences from indie royalty such as Carter USM front man Jim Bob, Creation label boss Alan McGee (Biff Bang Pow!), legendary Creation Producer Joe Foster (Slaughter Joe), Tracey Thorn, Ben Watt & The Monochrome Set. This compilation also contains three appearances from enigmatic indie legend Lawrence as part of Denim, Go-Kart Mozart & Felt with the irresitable 'Primitive Painters' boasting backing vocal from Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins.

The McCarthy track 'We Are All Bourgeois Now' was later covered by The Manic Street Preachers while Drugstore would later record their featured track '8l President' with backing vocals from Radiohead's Thom Yorke.

THE INDIE VIGILS is the definitive alternative download collection for true individuals everywhere. Shine on.
