Omnivore Recordings and The International Pop Overthrow Music Festival are proud to present IPO Vol. 23, our first since before the pandemic: a three-disc compilation featuring 68 tracks by artists from all over the world who have played the International Pop Overthrow festival…along with some who haven’t. The IPO compilation goes back as far as the festival, to 1998 when Vol. 1 was a single disc. Since then, the comp had expanded to two discs the following year, and then three discs in 2002 for Vol. 5, and it has remained a three-disc set through 2022. IPO Vol. 23 showcases artists from nine different countries, doing just about every sub-genre of pop music, including power pop, pop/rock, folk/pop, psychedelic pop, garage, indie-rock, modern rock, etc…, making it one of the most well-rounded compilations available to the general public. Although the International Pop Overthrow festival is essentially a showcase for unsigned bands, the compilation has featured some signed acts, and some who have gone on to be signed.
