Take Action Volume 10 Benefit Tour And Rarities Compilation Announced

Hopeless Records’ non-profit organization Sub-City has released pre-order details regarding the tenth installment of their Take Action compilation series.  The double disc includes previously unreleased songs and remixes from Silverstein, Bayside, All Time Low, Circa Survive, The Swellers,  The Wonder Years, Texas In July, and Chiodos to name a few.  The album will come in three potential packages, including basic CD version, with others throwing in wristbands, t-shirts, and hoodies.

The album is currently set for an April 26, 2011 release.  This year’s proceeds will benefit awareness charity SEX, ETC, which is a teen-focused program of the award-winning national organization based at NJ’s Rutgers University, Answer. The mandate is to improve teen sexual health information and resources across the US.  Executive director Elizabeth Schroeder further explains the organization’s goals:

“Our organization’s tag line, ‘Sex Ed, Honestly,’ reflects our core belief that young people have the right to receive honest, accurate and age-appropriate information about the entire range of topics related to sexuality… for 30 years, we have reached millions of young people, community and school professionals, and parents throughout the United States.”

The compilation supports the accompanying Take Action Tour featuring Silverstein and Bayside with Polar Bear Club, The Swellers and Texas in July.  A full track and tour listing can be found below.
