In preparation for Hopscotch Music Festival, two North Carolina record labels have teamed up to release a free sampler of their artists’ music.
Grip Tapes and PotLuck together released a 13-song compilation, featuring several area artists playing Hopscotch.
Gross Ghost, Old Bricks, North Elementary, Heads on Sticks and Organos are all featured on the download and will all perform at the festival in Raleigh.
Highlights include Corey Pallon’s “The Hitcher.” The acoustic track’s simple lyrics are memorable and sweet, if a little immature. The PotLuck artist’s entire album is available for free download on his website.
Juan Huevos’ track “idFUCKme” is fairly fun in the same bad, white-boy rap way that Mickey Avalon is. Check out the screens he performs in front of — featuring projected images varying from ‘80s workout videos to men riding other men like horses.
