Danish independent label Crunchy Frog Records will be celebrating 15 years of bringing some of the strangest, best and brightest acts to the indie scene in Denmark. To many of us on the west coast, that almost sounds like something akin to bringing together the best and brightest bands of, say, Barstow or Henderson, Nevada - but the main difference is that Denmark has itself a pretty healthy little scene out there, whether it's been neglected by we selection crazed 'mericans or not. Aside from the Raveonettes, Junior Senior and Asteroids Galaxy Tour, there has been a steady stream of ear-hugging tunes wafting through the Danish air for plenty more than a decade - as evidenced by the stellar selection of songs on Crunchy Frog-a-Logue, the 15 year celebration of all things Crunchy Frog. Yes, I like to keep saying Crunchy Frog. It's preposterously awful, Monty Python reference or not. But, luckily the music isn't.
25 bands such as Figurines, Asteroids Galaxy Tour, and The Fashion cover songs from the Crunchy Frog catalog and the result is a sweeping tour through pretty much every style of music you could find on the digital dial. The double CD is released next week for what is promised to be "CD price," whatever that means nowadays.
