Another Year On The Screen: Vol. 1

BY Stuart GreenPublished Mar 1, 2003

This collection of material from the rapidly evolving Vagrant Records label is almost as significant for what it doesn't contain as for what it does feature. Ostensibly a promotional vehicle for their bands, it's a compilation of videos from marquee acts like Dashboard Confessional ("Screaming Infidelities" and "Saints & Sailors"), Saves the Day ("At Your Funeral" and "Freakish") and the Get up Kids ("Overdue"), with a few little goodies tossed in. But with a roster that also includes Paul Westerberg, Rocket from the Crypt and Reggie and the Full Effect, the opportunities for a greater representation of the label's diversity were abundant. Perhaps Volume 2 will do the other bands justice. Extras: none. (Vagrant, www.vagrant.com)
