29.03.2019
Sea Shepherd is one of the most active and committed conservation organizations in the world. With exclusive (cover) songs and a loving vinyl edition whose proceeds are donated 100%, Uncle M Music, together with many friendly bands, has been making a small contribution to these important marine conservation projects and the rescue of whales and dolphins for years.
On the third edition of the worldwide popular compilation series, the German punk rock label unites international model bands of the genre with partly tongue-in-cheek, partly under the skin new interpretations of beloved classics and current pop hits. 7 of the 9 songs of the compilation were recorded exclusively for this purpose.
Sweden’s skatepunk veteran pays tribute to metal giant Iron Maiden, Californian scene favourites Spanish Love Songs dedicate their cover version to indie folk discovery Phoebe Bridger and flogging Molly bassist Nathen Maxwell contribute an English cover of the Donots smash hit “Problem, What Problem” with his side project The Bunny Gang. Düsseldorf’s punk rock star Rogers don’t miss the opportunity to create an exuberant party atmosphere with their interpretation of the Gigi D’Agostino hit “L’Amour Toujours”, whereas Shoreline with her recording of “Budapest”, Hightower with “Luka” and Tequila & The Sunrise Gang with “Angels” dress big pop anthems in their respective sounds between skate and ska punk. The compilation is rounded off with the gentle cover of the Tears For Fears hit “Head Over Heels” in an interpretation of the Indie/Grunge taste-guaranting Endless Heights from Australia.
The LP is exclusively available in the webshop of Uncle M and not in stores!
