THE
SKINNY
–
Various
Fashion
trends
and
fads
have
become
so much
more
prevalent
in the
year
2008,
to the
extent
that
identification
with
certain
trends
is now
becoming
the
titles
of compilation
albums(!).
You
never
got
collections
like
The
Bubble
Skirt
or Legwarmer,
did
you?
Maybe
as a
retro
comp,
but
certainly
not
at the
time
it was
considered
essential
fashion.
This
20-track
collection
includes
(mostly)
new
generation
alternatively
slanted
indie
rock
bands
like
Paramore,
Panic
At The
Disco,
Muse,
Primal
Scream,
Hard-Fi,
The
Subways,
Phantom
Planet,
Cobra
Starship,
Young
Knives,
Mystery
Jets,
Melee,
MGMT,
Foals,
Hadouken,
Biffy
Clyro,
The
enemy,
Get
Cape
Wear
Cape
Fly,
and
the
very
similarly
named
Death
Cab
For
Cutie,
The
Cab,
and
Cute
Is What
We Aim
For.
If there
are
some
bands
you
haven’t
heard
of before,
more
reason
to check
it out
and
get
turned
onto
some
new
sounds
you
might
just
like.
Ironically
a member
of Cape
Town
band
The
Dirty
Skirts
models
the
skinny
jeans
on the
cover,
but
his
band
isn’t
included!
