Nothing like a good cause to bring together a bunch of great bands. This compilation is out to raise money for PAX which is the number one force in the United States for the anti gun violence movement. The biggest thrill on here has to be Dag Nasty getting back together for a one off recording session just for this particular album ("Incinerate"). There are over 20 exclusive tracks on here from popular punk bands like NOFX, All, Agnostic Front and Youth Brigade as well as more obscure and upcoming bands such as the Sharpshooters, Dead Center, Divit (do a great version of Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays") and loads of others. The reason Fastmusic under took this project was that punk is quite often looked at as related to pun-violence when this is completely untrue. Punks today are responsible individuals and are often involved in all sorts of humanitarian projects such as this. In the end this is a great collection of newer punk bands and 20% of the proceeds are going to PAX.
