Shuffle And Scrape: A Tribute To Blueline Medic
on January 19th, 2012For the past decade Blueline Medic have been a constant shining light in Melbourne’s punk / indie-rock community. With a legacy spanning three full-length albums (‘The Apology Wars‘, ‘Text_Bomb‘, ‘42:19‘), the essential ‘A Working Title In Green‘ EP, a couple of split releases with names like Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, Midtown and The Movielife and the most recent ‘The Middle Of The End‘ 7″, the band’s superbly crafted songs, poetic lyrics and uplifting live performances have already left a indelible mark on Melbourne’s independent music scene. In recognition of their influence on Poison City and extended family of bands, the label will release ‘Shuffle And Scrape: A Tribute To Blueline Medic‘. Featuring tracks from The Nation Blue, A Death In The Family, Arrows, The Gifthorse, Jamie Hay & The Smith Street Band, Harmony, Jen Buxton, Paper Arms, Darren Gibson and Grim Fandango the album is set for release this April on limited edition vinyl LP, with a special colour version available in line with this year’s Independent Record Store Day (April 21st). To top it all off, artwork for the LP is being created by Samiam guitarist and long-time Blueline Medic fan & friend, Sergie Loobkoff.
