The Contrast are a guitar power pop band based in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, in the United Kingdom.

They were formed in 1999 by David Reid and have since released five albums on the New York-based label Rainbow Quartz and two for Wicked Cool Records.

Since the release of their second album Wireless Days, their music has been regularly played by Little Steven on his Underground Garage radio show.

Little Steven once described them on air as "One of the best bands on the planet – and England too" and consequently invited them to play the Underground Garage Festival on Randall's Island in 2004.

This contains new and unreleased tracks and is the band's first release on Little Steven's "Wicked Cool" label.
