In addition, BPI and British Underground are putting out a sampler CD of UK acts who are performing during the CMJ festival. Endorsed by the NME, the compilation, titled ‘sUK On This’, will be produced for the CMJ delegate bags to profile the UK presence at the event with only 7,000 copies being made.
It is hoped that this event will raise the profile of these British bands. Earlier in the year at SXSW in Austin, The Darkness and British Sea Power hit Texas to rave reviews.
