Can the start of the 90s really be almost 30 years ago? Good grief. Signs of a 90s revival started appearing a few years back and a new compilation from Steve Lamacq's set to shine a light on some of the many, many (oh so many) 90s bands that have perhaps faded from your memory. Although if you're reading this I guess there's a fair chance you may have barely been a twinkle in your parents' eyes when Voodoo Queens had their all too brief flirtation with fame. I was lucky enough to see 25 or so of the bands on the 4CD compilation and have fond memories of sweaty nights in Edwards, The Flapper (and Firkin as it was), The Foundry, The Hummingbird and no doubt one or two other venues that have vanished from memory under a tsunami of Dry Blackthorn.
Anyway, here's a trio of top tracks from the almost 80 on offer. Steve Lamacq's Lost Alternatives is out on March 22nd courtesy of Edsel Records.
