16 songs, amazing 6 panel digipak packaging. Americopa Mantle is a collection of Phoenix, AZ area bands who play music events for free and use all the money to support each other and put out records and promote the Phoenix scene. So far, AM has supported 3 different records. This is the first comp and what makes it stand out is the fact that all the songs were recorded in the same studio. Everything sounds consistent and amazing. Bob Hoag (Recover, Limbeck, The Format, Before Braille, etc) produced the compilation. The bands on it are: Before Braille, The Ruby Lee, The Go Reflex, Black Feet, Awake & Alert, Rajiv Patel, Sweet Bleeders, Not Quite Bernadette, Wonderful Wednesday. If you didn't know the depth of bands from Phoenix before, you will now. Take a chance on this comp, it's well worth it.
