In 2002 the label that brought you the likes of Tokyo Police Club, You Say Party! We Say Die!, The Deadly Snakes, Rock Plaza Central, and even Broken Social Scene (yes, You Forgot It In People was first pressed on PB) came on to our nation’s music scene. Since then, as apparent from the small sample of bands they’ve worked with, Paper Bag Records has been pivotal in defining Canadian music in the 2000s. To celebrate seven good years they are releasing a compilation album of covers by bands currently on the label called The Seven Year Itch. The track listing is as follows:
01 CFCF - "How Bizarre" (OMC cover)
02 Winter Gloves - "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (Nirvana cover)
03 Woodhands - "Electric Avenue" (Eddy Grant cover)
04 Sally Shapiro - "Dying In Africa" (Nicolas Makelberge cover)
05 You Say Party! We Say Die! - "Falling Out" (Rick Agnew cover)
06 Josh Reichmann - "Daniel" (Bat For Lashes cover)
07 Laura Barrett - "Gamma Ray" (Beck cover)
08 Rock Plaza Central - "I Want You" (Bob Dylan cover)
09 The Acorn - "Strange Animal" (Gowan cover)
10 Little Girls - "Heinz" (Artery cover)
11 Slim Twig - "Behold A Lady" (Outkast cover)
12 Under Byen - "Du er min øjesten" (Peter Malberg cover)
