Basically, [ROOM] magazine was the predecessor to Up Front and WAMM. Started around ’94, it was Windsor’s monthly independent paper highlighting our arts and music scene. The folks at [ROOM] were also behind this comp. An ambitious undertaking, and a great (partial) snapshot of what was going on musically in Windsor in the late ‘90s. From the sleeve: “We’re celebrating 5 years of celebrating local music by celebrating local music. Enjoy.” 13 bands, 14 tracks, including Citywide Vacuum, Ten Indians, Jimmy Bronco, Royal Dose, Phil Whitfield Trio, Luxury Christ, Pleasure, Train 45, Julie Kryk, Dean Drouillard Group, Dirty Harry, The Shannon Brothers, and Village Idiot.
Related: Far too many to list. The massive web of bands these collective musicians have been a part of is pretty ridiculous in scope. Many are still very active in Windsor’s music community today.
