POZ Presents: Big Footprints - The Big Comp: 75 Bands, $5 For Charity

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 23:31:47 -0400

propertyofzack:

It’s rare that we do compilations here at PropertyOfZack, but they tend to be special ones when we do. Today it’s a true pleasure to be taking the wraps off of a special charity-fueled compilation that we’ve been working on for a month or two now called The Big Comp by Big Footprints, Lame-O Records, and POZ.

Big Footprints is the marriage of musical and artistic communities around the world for the betterment of our environment. Donations will be going to The Nature Conservancy - a non-profit organization that works towards reforestation. We will also be participating in TNC’s Adopt An Acre program, where we will be adopting acres of land in The Appalachian Mountains, The Northern Rockies, The Southern Coastal Plains, as well as adopting acres of Coral Reef.

And when we say big, we mean it. For a minimum of $5 you can download 75 fantastic tracks by 75 different bands with all donations (minus Bandcamp fees) going directly to charity.

PropertyOfZack, Big Footprints, and Lame-O Records would like to thank No Sleep Records, Run For Cover Records, Topshelf records, Paper + Plastick Records Records, Pure Noise Records, Asian Man Records, Tiny Engines Records, and of course all the bands and artists involved in this great comp.

What are you waiting for? Check out the artwork and track listing and download the 75 band comp for a minimum of $5 (or more) below by clicking “Read More.”

While in Athens on tour with Against Me and Water Tower, our great friend Ryan Russell came out to record a Nervous Energies session with us. We crammed nearly everyone on the tour into our small dressing room and played 2 songs. The first was “16”, an unreleased new song from our next album. You can check the second song out here.

ryanrussell:

So tonight I filmed a new Fake Problems Nervous Energies session. They were the second session ever, so it was long over due for a new one. Chris did two songs, one new and one classic. We needed gang vocals for the classic song so some of Against Me!, Water Tower and the rest of Fake Problems joined in. This is one of the most organic sessions I’ve done so far with NE, sounds and feels great to watch.

Coming soon!
