Critical Praise for This Is Indie Rock 3
by OasisProject"On their third installment of This Is Indie Rock, Deep Elm has hit the indie nail on the head. They spotlight standout tracks from rock bands like Campsite, Broken October, Element and Softer. There's also focus on a softer side with bands like ReedKD and Annuals, as well as a hip-hop mix style with Konrad. Again, Deep Elm has shown up to the party, brought beer and offered this world of broken dreams and short careers some hope! Three thumbs up and a big thank you to all involved. This is my number one disc so far for 2006!" - Independents Only
"A hugely-respected series both in its American homeland and over here in Britain, This Is Indie Rock is a compilation series featuring unreleased songs from a glut on the world's hottest new bands. Having carved it's reputation in the American post-hardcore community, Deep Elm has long since used this series to showcase all genres of indie rock and portray itself as much more than a blinkered label for the hardcore fraternity. Thus what we find is glitchy, melancholic beat pop from ReedKD, synth punk from England's Encyclopedia and a rash of testosterone-fueled indie bluster from the likes of Popmonster, Softer and Konrad. It is without doubt the most essential compilation of the year for any rock fan lost in a desperate search for new music; there's a hell of a lot of us out there." - The Downloader
"This Is Indie Rock is a compilation that is fantastically varied and that allows bands the world over the chance for people to hear their music. And as ever Volume Three holds some beauts. Openers Free Diamonds are ridiculously good pop; Annuals' song is a country tinged piece of folk mastery that will have you tapping and rocking along; Element's Sparta-esque rock is a sure fire winner and Reed KD's gentle electro-pop will warm even the coldest cockles. With every compilation you will certainly discover a couple of bands you will want to embrace into your life and musical collection. I for one hope this series carries on for along time yet casts its musical net ever wider. Deep Elm aren't just making compilation CDs with the Indie Rock series, they're performing a valuable public service." - Tasty
"The third effort of This Is Indie Rock, the fascinating series of never before released songs, Deep Elm have selected yet another twelve artists worthy of attentive ears. Bands from England, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada and the United States grace the ones and zeros of this never ending and continually inventive mix of diversity. As the boys of Free Diamonds open up the record, you can already perceive the amount of effort that goes into making this compilation as diverse as it can be. With angular guitars and alarmingly charismatic vocals, Free Diamonds do an amazing job. Campsite and Encyclopedia follow up respectively with two different genres of music before Annuals tear it up in a nonchalant manner. The Swiss act known as Popmonster come in on the second half of the album with Salty, trilling with a dreamy yet brazen orchestration. Reed KD exhibits his relentlessly inventive electronic beats and swooning vocals with the sequestered track Seventeen. Lush vocals and staggeringly angular guitars are heard as the North Carolina natives Almighty Flying Machine disperse their talent on their crippling feat Call Her the Craze. Deep with fluctuating talent, the third volume of This Is Indie Rock has once again highlighted a number of independent acts, many of which countless people would never of heard without the help of Deep Elm Records." - Adapt
"This Is Indie Rock Volume 3 puts forth one of the strongest lineups in the series. Starting with Free Diamonds' falsetto and free-spirited tempo, the record keeps the flow going with the Franz Ferdinand-reminiscent strains of Campsite and the electronic, sequenced emo of Encyclopedia that will keep heads bobbing and feet tapping. The third volume of This Is Indie Rock is so impressive due to the pure variation of the songs. You'll find an electronic, inorganic track (ie: Encyclopedia) followed by down-home rock of Annuals, then Konrad's low-fi version of Bloodhound Gang. Broken October really make strong case for having the best song. Using a piano for the primary motivator, their Yellowcard-like vocals put forth an intensity that is belied by the smoothness of the finished product. Tracks such as these are of high enough quality to really give listeners a reason to pick up the band's full album, which speaks to the quality of the compilation." - Neufutur
Please...
by aboynamednonameThe most awful and generic "indie" rock selection I have ever heard. The only band featured on this little piece of digital ephemera that has any grain of talent (or hopes of a sustained life) is Annuals. Don't waste your time. Go get the Annuals' "Be He Me" album.
AMAZ-ing
by CarinTinWow. What can I say. This album is awesome. Deep Elm does better with each album they come out with. This is just great. :D
