Topshelf Records release 2013 sampler

20 September 2013 | 11:02 pm | Staff Writer

Topshelf Records have released their annual digital sampler, which contains 78 songs from both bands on the label, and others they have been enjoying throughout 2013. The label had the following to say about the sampler: "We spend every day listening to new music (I mean, that’s our job, really) and we come across a lot of great stuff — stuff that Topshelf releases, stuff that other really great labels release, stuff that gets self-released or not released properly at all… stuff that flies completely below everyone’s radar, even cool demos people send us. All year long we passively curate and assemble tracks from our favorite stuff specifically for this. If you’re familiar with us, you know the drill (we do this every year). If you’re not, hi, and thanks for checking this out — here’s a bunch of free music. Think of it as a giant mix tape."
