PUNK ROCK THE VOTE...

Rock Against Bush Vol 2 Out August 10th 2004
Fat Wreck Chords to Release 2nd Compilation Against Dubya!

As with the first collection, there will be extensive liner notes and essays to feed your desire to understand why all of these bands and labels are so pissed off. Start with multi-platinum punks of Green Day, Grammy winning Foo Fighters, and add to the mix long-revered and respected bands like Bad Religion, Rancid, Sleater-Kinney, Dropkick Murphys, and Operation Ivy…. In all, you’ll get 28 tracks including 20 rare and unreleased songs to make one damn fine collection of protest tunes. To see the full line up at: http://www.fatwreck.com/albumdetail.php3?sd=&cat_num=677" target="_blank Further arming anger with information, the DVD accompanying Rock Against Bush II includes videos by NOFX, Flogging Molly, and the Alkaline Trio. It also contains six political shorts, ranging from Unconstitutional, a documentary on how Americans’ civil liberties are being shorn at every possible turn, to Fixed in Florida, where journalist Greg Palast peels back layer upon layer of deceit and illustrates how the 2000 election was hijacked in the sunshine state. To round it all out, because if we can’t laugh, we’re truly fucked, is comedy from Will Ferrell, Patton Oswalt, and Greg Proops. How can punks go right into thousands of homes and make folks want to listen? Easy. There’s already an inroad.... Rock Against Bush Vol 1 charted #54 on Billboard, scored the #1 slot on the indie chart, and held fast as the #2 Internet record. It remained in the Top 200 for two months straight. With Rock Against Bush Vol 2 CD/DVD there is hope that more and more Americans will get the message
