(2007) About a Girl
FDR's "About a Girl" CD will feature indie, power-pop, and garage rock bands covering the greatest all-time rock n roll songs featuring a girl's name in the title and chorus. We are currently recruiting bands to contribute. Submission deadline is set for the end of this year. We're shooting for a Spring of 07 release. Let us know your favorite tunes with a girl's name!

(2004) Who's Not Forgotten: FDR's
Tribute to the Who
In 2004 we finally
paid tribute to the awesome (and my favorite band)
The Who. For this one, FDR recruited
Guided By Voices and Pat Dinizio
along with a slew of Philadelphia area and
national indie-rock bands to cover the amazing
catalog of the Who. The Dipsomaniacs
covered "Bargain" on their own and teamed
up with Philly guitar legend, Tommy
Conwell, for a blistering version of "Long
Live Rock". All proceeds to Hear
Net. SOLD OUT.
Via CD Baby
(2001) Left of the Dial: a Pop
Tribute to the Replacements Paul Westerberg made me think I could be in a band
- along with Bob Dylan and Pete Townshend he knows
my heart and can explain how I feel when I
can't. So it made sense to make our first
tribute, one to the Mats. We recruited a
bunch of awesome indie-rock bands who felt
likewise and tried to focus on the melodic and
lyrical sensibilities of the band. This
is our all-time best seller and after a recent
repressing is still in stock. Buy it
now.
