Download: With Love From: Melbourne - A New Compilation Series

Too often when musicians leave NZ to live overseas they are forgotten about and/or never heard from again – well not anymore. “With Love From” is a series of compilations we're offering for stream or download that have been put together by bands/artists currently residing in cities abroad of music that they are surrounded by and of course something new from them.

The first compilation has been put together by Sam Walsh from the band Damsels and NZ label Mole Music who, until recently, was living in Melbourne. A few fell through the cracks apparently, bands will be bands after all, but even so he has put together a great collection of tracks most with a kiwi connection.

We hope you find something you like - here's the tracklist - you can download the compilation below.
