Various Artists - Strum & Thrum: The American Jangle Underground 1983 - 1987

'Strum & Thrum' aims to shed light on this forgotten era of jangly, melodic rock music that emerged from the ashes of post punk and helped kick start the indie rock boom of the early '90s that continues to this day. Indeed, many artists featured on 'Strum & Thrum' went on to be part of this boom - Archer Prewitt from the Sea & Cake, Jon Ginoli from Pansy Division, Ric Menck from Velvet Crush, Brent Rademaker from Beachwood Sparks, Barbara Manning, and more went on to be in well known bands in the '90s.
