VA - International Pop Overthrow Vol. 25 (2024)

As is the norm, Bash assembled a stunning and diverse array of talent that span the traditional definitions of pop, with a keen eye on rock & roll. —Brett Callwood, LAWeekly.com Omnivore Recordings and The International Pop Overthrow Music Festival are proud to present International Pop Overthrow: Volume 25, a 3-CD compilation featuring 69 tracks by artists from all over the world who have played the International Pop Overthrow festival—along with some who haven’t. The IPO compilation series goes back as far as the 1998 when Volume 1 was a single disc. Since then, the compilation had expanded to two discs the following year, and then three discs in 2002 for Volume 5, and it has remained a three-disc set since that time. International Pop Overthrow: Volume 25 showcases artists from around the world from different countries, doing just about every sub-genre of pop music, including power pop, pop/rock, folk/pop, psychedelic pop, garage, indie-rock, modern rock, etc., making it one of the most well-rounded compilations available to the general public. Although the International Pop Overthrow festival is essentially a showcase for unsigned bands, the compilation has featured some signed acts, and some who have gone on to be signed. These include: •Jason Falkner •Brendan Benson •Roger Joseph Manning Jr. •Peter Holsapple •Shoes Among those acts on Volume 25 include: •Van Duren & Good Question •The Cowsills •Iron City Houserockers •Fernando Perdomo When mainstream pop/rock fans are played any volume of the IPO compilations, their first response is invariably “this is great; I had no idea people were still making music like this!” Well, they certainly are, and you can find some of the best examples of it on IPO Volume 25.
