Paper + Plastick To Release All Female Fronted Pop-Punk Band Compilation

Gainesville’s Paper + Plastick Records are set to release a new, 17-song compilation on October 4th.  

The compilation, dubbed Are You With The Band?, is being organized by Lauren Denitzio  – the former vocalist/guitarist of The Measure [SA] and will  bevailable digitally and on 12” vinyl. The 17 tracks will be accompanied by a large full-color booklet with artwork done for each band by other women in the scene. All proceeds from the sale of the compilation will be donated to Planned Parenthood.

 Denitzio explained the reasoning behind the album:

“The title comes from the still, unfortunately, common situation of women being asked if they’re IN the band or WITH the band when trying to load in for shows. Being the only woman in the band, I still get asked this sometimes, whereas the other guys hardly get asked that, if at all. It’s assumed you must be the roadie or merch girl or girlfriend or something, which is incredibly frustrating.

I still get comments on a regular basis about how cool it is to see a girl singing and we still get compared to the same two or three groups solely because they have female vocals, not because our music or my voice sound anything like them.

Denitzio is trying to change that and introduce the population to seventeen new female-fronted pop-punk band. A dozen of the seventeen tracks on Are You With The Band? are previously unreleased.
