Various Artists H.E.A.R. This (Sub City)
Leave it to Sub City to rally the troops for such a
good cause. Hopeless affiliate Louis Posen created Sub
City in late 1998. His idea was to create a label that
would give five per cent (roughly 70 cents per CD) to
a charity of the artists choosing. For example: The
Weakerthans give a percentage of their earnings to a
clinic in the Winnipeg area. To date this label has
contributed over $50,000 to various charitable institutions.
When Ginger Coyote lost her friend, Nick Traina, she
felt she had to do something in his honor. Coyote got
together with Posen to put out a compilation of different
bands. The goal was to raise awareness of hearing loss
and damage. Thus, the H.E.A.R. This (Hearing Education
and Awareness for Rockers) compilation became a reality.
Coyote gathered friends that have played music both
now and in the past to combine forces and create this
record. Part of the fun of this disc is the irony of
the fact that this is a collection of some of the loudest,
snottiest bands to ever record. Its a mix of both new
and old. Some new bands on this record are Damnation,
Jon Cougar Concentration Camp, Link 80 and Coyotes band,
White Trash Debutantes. Older bands include The Lewd,
The Avengers, The Vktms and Contractions. In addition
to the stateside featured, the album includes bands
from around the world like Shonen Knife, Electric Summer
and The Tedio Boys. Check your local record store for
this release, or go on-line to www.subcity.net. Never
has giving to charity been such rollicking good, loud
fun
