Velocity Girl has been one of my favorite bands since I was a freshman in high school so I want to say like 1994 yet some of these songs I never came in contact with so this is a real treat.

I had tracked down just 7 non-LP/EP songs so these is will be a real treat. Velocity Girl are currently ranked as my 26th favorite band of all time so every new discovery is a genuine pearl from a band that had all-too-few recordings. Big thanks, I think I've finally found a music blog to my taste.bbberangushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783765174573711890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-13568925298861528142012-12-12T04:05:41.897-08:002012-12-12T04:05:41.897-08:00Thanks for this great comp.

It's not unrepresentative of what VG sounded like at the time, but they lost a lot of their shoegaze edge and took on a more pop sound when they got Sarah. I remember seeing their early gigs with Sarah and thinking that as good a singer as she obviously was, the style really didn't suit her. Eventually they started writing in a way that complemented her voice much better.Cinnamon Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508062709152722110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-4521320238707603952012-12-09T22:26:22.217-08:002012-12-09T22:26:22.217-08:00Joseph, I don't have the PreMoon comp at issue...Joseph, I don't have the PreMoon comp at issue, but found the cover which does appear to list VG, for what it's worth. http://www.pettediscographies.com/vgirl/vgirlcompA.aspWhatTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950143221991528485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-77548170192750420692012-12-09T22:07:54.112-08:002012-12-09T22:07:54.112-08:00Happy to have this round-up, nice present in the w...Happy to have this round-up, nice present in the wrapping.WhatTShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950143221991528485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-62309879633174224662012-12-09T21:42:11.596-08:002012-12-09T21:42:11.596-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.evrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419380336852902242noreply@blogger.com
