Look directly into the sun “China Pop 2007″

lookdirectlyintothesun-chinapop2007
While visiting Beijing in 2006 Martin Atkins found a surprisingly large and growing music underground unexpected to be found in China. This compilation is a collection of punk, pop punk and rocks bands he recorded from the area and give you an idea of what type of bands and musicans are available in a communist country.





This compilation has 18 songs by 18 different artists all from Beijing city or surrounding area. The majority of the tracks are inspiring and entertaining with only 2 songs that really didn’t catch me at all; but the majority of these songs are damn tight and just down right rocking.

My personal favorite track is Demerit “Fight your Apathy” which is a bad ass dirty anthem punk with a great catchy sound and awesome lyrics (even more awesome coming from a band located in China!).
