Thumper Punk Records and Caustic Fallout have released this compilation of punk tracks to raise money for two missionary families that have been commissioned from within the Christian Punk community. There are 21 original tracks, some not previously released, that have a huge variety of styles from fast rock, through almost thrash metal to punked hillbilly and all with the hallmarks of great punk - shouted (or screamed) vocals, fast rhythm and something to shout about. These guys do not beat about the bush; they have something to say and the say it loud and proud. With bands like Hippos Of Doom, Call To Glory - a live unreleased song called "Soul Miner" - Grace And Thieves, The Hoax, Lust Control, The Scurvies and The Shiny Darks (the latter getting to the heady heights of the Cross Rhythms playlist) it is a great collection of punk music and for a good cause.
