Temporary: Selections from Dunedin's Pop Underground

Would it be blasphemous to say that Dunedin's music scene legacy needs a refresh? This compilation is a perfect collection to argue that everything on this side of the millennium is worth just as much time on your turntable. In 2014, the Fishrider whānau pulled together 13 of their favourite young bands, many of whom continue to build up the southern music communities, and sought to grow the story of jangling guitar‑and‑organ gems into noise‑pop bursts and psychedelic oddities across decades. A much needed highlight on the tiny city on the edge of the world that still kick ass, just as they did 40 years ago. - Hunter

Fishrider Recordspresents thiscompilation LP of songs by 13 of our favorite young Dunedin bands.

The past few years have been a remarkable time in Dunedin for music. People talk about the 1980s being Dunedins golden decade for music, but theres precious metal being formed here right now - as indeed there was in the 1990s and the 2000s. With five of the 13 bands on the compilation were already associated with Fishrider Records Opposite Sex, The Shifting Sands, The Prophet Hens, Males and Trick Mammoth, combined together with the others, they represent an interconnected part of the current Dunedin music scene playing shows together and often sharing members with each other.
