Up & Running
“This comp is quite special, in that most of these songs haven’t ever been released or even heard before. We are truly thankful to all the bands who submitted their gems – this is such a stunning snapshot of 1990s era Australian music.
Thank you for your support and commitment to our tiny idea which has become a wonderful reality. We look forward to many more Sound As Ever adventures with you.” Jane Gazzo – April 2020
