Vertigo is a compilation of synth punk, mainly from little known bands. This first volume will be available (vinyl only) on December 15th, features American, German, British and Swedish punk bands. The term synth punk has been popularized in recent years, or rather vulgarized, becoming a genre that mostly describes electronic or new wave bands. This compilation highlights anger and nihilism punk with the violent rhythm of a fingering that assails a keyboard. Here, no synth pop, no new wave, no experimental music. Imagine a 'Killed By Death' compilation led by raw razor shape synthesizers.
Call it SYNTH PUNK!
16 tracks of pure synth punk madness.

"Mom Stole Me Darts" is probably the best song on this release. But "I Feel Good" makes me smile on my way to work so it's an MVP because of the pure irony. szczur
