There's just over one week until Vancouver music fanatics can lose themselves in the annual Music Waste festival. Before it kicks off, however, organizers have sweetened the deal with news of a limited-edition cassette compilation.
The tape will be available at all Music Waste shows and will feature tracks from artists playing this year's festival. While a tracklisting has not yet been specified, this year's lineup includes appearances from NEEDS, B-Lines, Peace, Skinny Kids, monashee, Taxa, Lesser Pissers, Inherit Vices, Shawn Mrazek Lives!, Woolworm, JP Carter, Energy Slime, Supermoon, Cave Girl, Mi'iens, Flowers & Fire, Magneticring, Sprïng and many more.
The compilation's album art was designed by local artist Aaron Read, and the tape will only cost fans $5.
"Putting together a cassette is something we've talked about for a few years, and we're excited we were able to make it happen this year," organizer Mark Richardson said of the release. "To celebrate local talent in a physical format is a cool way for people to remember all the different bands they saw during the festival."
In addition, Music Waste has issued a video trailer for this year's festival. Directed by Jordan Minkoff, it was inspired by Terrence Malick's Tree of Life. Watch it below.
Music Waste hits Vancouver's venues from June 4 to 7. Festival passes are available at local retailers for a mere $15, while individual shows will cost $5 at the door.
