For many festival and music lovers the launch of the End of the Road Festival in 2005 by Simon Taffe and his team was a saving grace, it was a direct move away the commercial mainstream festivals. Rough Trade Shops have been running a stall at the festival since day one so they are pretty pleased to be announcing today the release of a new compilation that intends to capture the spirit of the festival. In their own words:
From the outset Simon attempted to create an independent festival with a strong ethos, a booking policy that avoided over hyped bands, where artists played longer than normal sets and a holistic approach to staffing, environment and facilities that we think brought a breath of fresh air to the small festival offering.
2013’s End Of The Road promises to be a heavy, intensely rewarding collective experience with Rough Trade favourites like Sigur Ros, Belle and Sebastian, Dinorsaur Jr and David Byrne rubbing shoulders with exciting new artists like Savages, Charlie Boyer, Merchandise, Angel Olsen, Deptford Goth and much, much more.
We at Rough Trade are pleased to be at EOTR once again this year and are delighted to present a compilation, that we hope captures the spirit of one of the most outstanding festivals in the calendar.
The compilation contains many Folk Radio UK favourites including: Angel Olsen, The Leisure Society, Damien Jurado, Night Beds, Diana Jones and many more.
