Oi 2 The World Records has dropped a new, 19-track comp, with proceeds going to Save the Sidebar. The 19-track benefit comp features bands from all genres, not just Oi!, including The Jasons, Braceface, and more.
The Sidebar, a Baltimore staple, is in dire straights. A GoFundMe has been initiated to purchase the venue along with its liquor license, and operate it as a non-profit so that all money made beyond operating costs goes back into the venue. So, technically, proceeds from the sale of the comp won’t go directly to the Sidebar, but to the planning non-profit looking to purchase it.
Check out the comp below, and visit the O2TW Bandcamp page to grab a copy.
the white drew carey (aka – Jeff Sorley) is the founder and head editor of TGEFM. He’s lived (outside of) Chicago, Madison WI, (ugh) Penn State, Lyon FR, Oxford UK, central New Jersey, and now within earshot of SFO in the Bay Area. When not scouring the web for more great bands and labels to post about, he also spends time drawing (mostly) silly sci-fi and anime stuff under the name Asplenia Studios.
