Furthermore the compilations is being sent to the biggest US college radios, where the first two volumes got regular airplay.

CHOO CHOO will be featured on the sampler with A little wiser now, the opening track of their debut album. „272 records got in touch with us on MySpace. We checked out the work they did with The Powerpop Overthrow Vol. 1 & 2 and decided to give it a go. The compilation comes at a good time for CHOO CHOO. We just got invited for a showcase at SXSW in Austin, TX and being in the process of organizing things for our first US appearance, we already found it very useful to have a US release we can refer to. And of course we hope that the US College Radio DJ’s fall in love with our tune“ says Dan, CHOO CHOO’s singer and guitar player.
