“Exhibit A” Compilation Released In Support Of Southern Poverty Law Centre

The roots of punk and hardcore have always been about taking a stand for what you believe in, and today seventeen bands have come together for the Exhibit A compilation. 100% of proceeds from both physical and digital sales will go to support the Southern Poverty Law Center, an Alabama based non-profit organization focused on ensuring the promise of civil rights through legal advocacy, exposing hate groups and providing communities with educational resources. The compilation was put together by Bitter Branches drummer Jeff Tirabassi as a call to action against the political and civil injustices taking place in the United States and beyond.

“The kids need to have their say again. I thought it would be a great idea to collect songs from these bands we connected with during the pandemic for a compilation, much like Dischord did for the State of the Union Compilation in 1989. This comp was a game changer/eye opener effecting change and raising awareness through the power of a diverse music scene in DC. We chose the Southern Poverty Law Center as our organization to benefit since they have a single focus of protecting the rights of the disenfranchised. With people under constant attack for their race, sexual orientation, and keeping control of their own bodies, this was the most important cause we all agreed would be the best to focus on.” (Jeff Tirabassi)

Exhibit A is now available on multiple physical formats, including vinyl, co-released by Atomic Action! Records and Hellminded Records, and on cassette via Knife Hits Records in the US and through Ugly & Proud Records and Shove Records in Europe. The compilation features contributions from up and coming bands like GEL, HIRS Collective, Truth Cult, School Drugs and Faim, plus newer projects from seasoned vets such as Be Well and Every Scar Has A Story.
