The fourth comp from Squamish Punk Night is now available as a name-your-price download. Featuring twenty-eight great tracks of punk and punk adjacent music from veteran acts and newcomers alike, mostly Canadian so you just know they’re going to be nice about it (wink wink). While the comp is technically free, any money you throw down goes back into supporting the Squamish, BC punk scene.
We’ve previously reported on SPN’s activities but, if you need a refresher:
Squamish Punk Night started out of necessity in 2018. Nestled between Whistler and Vancouver BC, the small town did not have any established punk rock venues or bookers, so local band Anonymericans took the reins. Starting with Modern Terror, Dayglo Abortions, and DOA gigs, they would soon join forces with Russian Tim & Pavel Bures from Vancouver BC, leading to an influx of molten hot Punk Rock flowing from the Mega-City’s well established scene. Among these bands were heavy hitters such as Rong, You Big Idiot, Aanthems, The Corps and ATD. The gigs have been well attended and memorable, sometimes bubbling over into Squamish Punk Fest, a two day eruption that saw up to 10 bands sharing the stage.
