about

When we announced the theme of Blockbuster a Tribute to Glam Rock in 2020, we knew it would present a challenge. Little did we know of the bigger challenge ahead. We announced Blockbuster before anyone new of the imposition that would be imposed on the world by the Covid 19 pandemic. One by one bands pulled out of the project because they were unable to record. We normally plan for 70 tracks but over the course of the year over a hundred bands came and went.
When we considered if we should abandon the project we looked towards the Teenage Cancer Trust for inspiration. Cancer doesn’t stop for pandemics and if anything cancer care was seriously impacted as hospitals struggled to cope with the pandemic.
We adopted their mantra of Can’t Stop- Won’t Stop and continued to seek musicians that were able to record. We trained musicians how to home record, we put together a pool of session musicians to fill gaps in band line ups and by the end of the year we more than the 50 song threshold.
Released at the beginning of 2021, this is Blockbuster, the tribute to Glam Rock that couldn’t and wouldn’t stop
