The folks at the Wall of Sound label have decided that the dance influences in groups like CSS, the Gossip, Soulwax, and the now-defunct Death From Above 1979 constitute a movement.

So they're documenting it with a compilation titled Shock Rock. They will release the compilation on February 19, but a Shock Rock tour with a semi-rotating lineup of several of the featured bands kicks off tonight in Leeds, England.

One of those groups, Shy Child, will release their Wall of Sound full-length debut in May.

Tracklist:

01 Metronomy: "You Could Easily Have Me"
02 Shakes: "Sister Self Doubt (Alternate Mix)"
03 Sunshine Underground: "I Ain't Losing Any Sleep (Serge Santiago's
Vocal Edit)"
04 The Gossip: "Standing in the Way of Control"
05 CSS: "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above"
