Brought To Life was a labour of love, a series of 2,000 CD-Rs which ardently archived a plethora of Punk/Post-Punk/Hardcore/Powerpop/Mod/Ska and New Wave recordings from the mid-1970s to the end of the 1990s. BTL the Blog shares the very best of those tracks with everyone out there with an unquenchable thirst for the rare (and not-so-rare) gems from a much loved but bygone era.
