The tracklist from the upcoming compilation album The Official New Wave Of Classic Rock - Volume 1 has been released. The album, which brings together many of rock's brightest rising stars, includes many of the names that have been packing out Classic Rock's Tracks Of The Week feature over the last few years.
“We’ve been looking into the possibility of putting together a NWOCR compilation CD since last year," says Richard Brindley, from the NWOCR Facebook Group, "and thought that right now would be absolutely perfect timing to release the definitive version of a set of tracks from bands who together define the genre".
He continues: “We want to get this CD high up into the UK compilation chart, and raise the profile of the movement and the bands to a massively wider audience. This could be the truest execution of people power; a compilation by the community, for the community."
A trailer for the compilation has also been released, featuring video clips from many of the featured artists. It's soundtracked by Tokyo by Massive Wagons, the track that opens the compilation.
"It blows my mind how fast the NWOCR thing has grown!" says Massive Wagons frontman Baz Mills. "It’s literally exploded! They shine a real bright light on new bands all over the world, and it's a real honour to be a part of this official NWOCR compilation album!"
Full tracklist below. The Official New Wave Of Classic Rock - Volume 1 is released on July 23 and available to pre-order now on double CD.
