Here Comes Another One of Those Cover Song Collections! And this one’s a fundraiser during March 2023!
You like cover songs, do you? This new collection curated by GC Records head honchos is essentially a playlist of all of the cover songs we've featured on past compilation albums.
Over the course of 22 years there were two The Police covers and two Holding Onto Sound covers? Now, how did that happen?
Bands covered: Leslie Gore, The Ramones, Iron Maiden, The Police, Crass, The Misfits, Mischief Brew, Holding onto Sound, Lagwagon, Green Day, and more!
This collection is being released on Zero Discrimination Day 2023.
For the entire month of March, 100% of all proceeds received for this collection will be donated to THE TREVOR PROJECT, whose mission it is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people.
The donations will be done in memory of Emily Matview (Emily died in June 2021. Read a memorial statement about her at the website she founded, Punks In Vegas, here).
Zero Discrimination Day is an international event celebrated on March 1 each year to promote diversity and inclusivity and to raise awareness about the need to eliminate discrimination in all its forms. The day is part of a global campaign to end discrimination and create a more equitable and just world for all.
Zero Discrimination Day first began in 2014 when the United Nations General Assembly officially declared March 1 as Zero Discrimination Day. The day was established to promote equality and highlight the need for individuals and societies to uphold the principle of zero discrimination, which is based on the belief that everyone should be treated equally and with respect, regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, or any other form of discrimination.
