The compilation album is something that is a dying breed especially during the current digital era and even more so from an Irish slant. So hats doffed to the lads from Shrug Life, Hot Cops, That Snaake, Tuath, Junk Drawer, Alien She and many more for getting together to produce volume two of A Litany of Failures. At eighteen tracks, this DIY compilation will be released on 13th July digitally and also on double vinyl gatefold which has been manufactured by Dublin Press. The tantalizing track listing is as follows :
- Dott – You Don’t Have
- Shrug Life – 2009
- Hot Cops – Belle Of The Tar Pits
- Ghost Office – Here Come The Elders!
- Junk Drawer – Year Of The Sofa
- That Snaake – [no comment]
- Nervvs – Entertainment
- Blue Whale – Coitus
- Tuath feat. Veil – Lark Song
- Big Monster Love – On Donabate Beach
