Overview

Ska Against Racism --- 2020-12-00

Per the release: In partnership with Asian Man Records and Ska Punk Daily, I'm proud to present the SKA AGAINST RACISM compilation; 28 NEW, RARE, or UNRELEASED SONGS from ska and ska-punk bands. All profits from this release are donated to The Movement for Black Lives, The NAACP Legal Defense Fund, The Alpha Institute, Black Girls Code, and The Conscious Kid. Double 12" LP on "Random Color Swirl" vinyl, limited to 1500. In 1998 Mike Park created the first Ska Against Racism tour; a multi-city initiative with the goal of educating young ska fans about the roots of the genre, while raising money and awareness for anti-racist organizations around the US. 22 years later, the issue of racism in America is as pervasive as ever, no small part due to prejudices inflicted from the highest (and loudest) platforms in the country. With anti-racist organizations needing more support than ever before, our goal is to unite the bands in our scene to revive the Ska Against Racism label in the form of a digital and physical compilation. In partnership with Asian Man Records, Bad Time Records, Ska Punk Daily, as well as 28 ska and ska-punk bands, we’re hoping to activate the next generation of fans to take action and proactively reject hate. All proceeds from the compilation are donated to The Movement for Black Lives, The NAACP Legal Defense Fund, The Conscious Kid, The Alpha Institute, and Black Girls Code. BLACK LIVES MATTER.
