Presenting Issue 003 for September 2010 of the Crash Avenue Compilation Series!
ABOUT: We at Crash Avenue listen to a lot of music, and we’ve been trying to share it with everyone. Sure, during the day we try to share music with the writers and media we work with, but now it’s time to share some of our absolutely favorite tracks with absolutely everyone through the first issue of our monthly compilation! Each compilation will not only feature songs from the artists we work with, but exclusive tracks from some of our friends and favorite artists, as well as bands that we’re just really digging right now. And each comp will feature a bad pun on an influential media outlet because, well, we’re immature, but it’s benevolent and with love. A couple of notable exclusive first-listens in this month’s compilation include J. Irvin Dally’s Punchbowl and Ghost Animal’s Some Other Time. Aural righteousness below…
