Liverpool-based LIPA Records has previously released compilations curated by Fran Healy of Travis and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. This year the label goes it alone with an eclectic collection of unsigned talent based in England's North West, but originating from as far afield as Norway, the USA, Ireland and Japan, covering genres from rock and pop to folk and country.

The label's first release featured an early demo from the then little-known band The Wombats, so who will you discover this time round? Have a listen and let us know your faves!

 

Well, the Wombats weren't a bad find, so maybe there is a future ahead!!

 

I would rather 7 fran healy 'penned' tracks rather than 'picked'.....

Glad you think so, Tauiwi. Unfortunately Fran didn't have time to write anything himself for us though ;-)

 

Did anyone get chance to have a listen to the release on Myspace? No Wombats-soundalikes, but would be great to hear your opinions.
