Stand Up: A Benefit CD
Various Artists
(TampaBayMuse.com or StandUpforKidsCD.com)
Compilation discs have proven to be one of the more effective ways of getting homegrown music in the hands of the masses. Stand Up, a CD created to generate funds for homeless and street kids, doubles as a fine representation of Tampa Bay's indie/alt-rock scene. Highlights include the all-female band Doll Parts' mournful yet catchy lament "Mascara Smears," the delicate pop-folk of sister duo Inertia's "Make You Mine" and Jeremy Gloff's charmingly quirky pop ditty "Afraid Too." 3 stars
