Brits & Pieces - Volume IV

After a two year-hiatus, the Brits and Pieces compilation series returns.

Inspired by the classic compilation albums of the 1990s, Marc Rossiter (@BritsPieces) took on the challenge of matching the impact of those compilations but with a twist: each Brits And Pieces album to-date has showcased Britain’s up-and-comers, the bands who have yet to signed.

Previous Brits And Pieces volumes included Spyres and Megan Wyn, both of who built on the foundation, and this new collection is once again mastered by Nick Brine, who can credit Oasis and Ash on an impressive CV. With all the proceeds going to the acts included, it’s very much a labour of love for Rossiter.

While the first three Brits And Pieces volumes were very much band-oriented, Volume IV includes several solo artists, which speaks to the state of grassroots music in 2024: the dearth of bands.

The reasons are understandable: bands are notoriously hard work, while solo artists have the capacity to record every instrument themselves in their bedroom.
