Various Artists - While No One Was Looking: Toasting 20 Yrs Of Bloodshot Records

Limited edition gatefold triple LP

Album download included

"If While No One Was Looking was the only record in your collection, you'd still have a pretty good record collection." — PopShifter

"A great introduction to an important roots label for newcomers and a welcome reward for long-time listeners." — New Noise Magazine

38 artists, including Andrew Bird, Blitzen Trapper, Superchunk, Chuck Ragan, Nicki Bluhm, Ted Leo, Ben Kweller, Chris Shiflett (of Foo Fighters), Into It. Over It., Shakey Graves, and more covering songs from Bloodshot's 20-year history.

These songs from the Bloodshot catalog reemerge covered by friends and heroes of the label in oft-head-craning styles from gritty punk to back porch folk, dark bedroom new wave to straight up honky tonk, and lush power pop to new emo.
