Mental Health issues touch every one of us. It certainly effects me, many of my friends, family and close associates.

This project is my small way of raising awareness and funds for an amazing charity who undertake all kinds of fantastic work for sufferers of mental health issues, carers and their families.

I hope this modest £1000 (or more if I possibly can) crowdfunding campaign will help pay for the expenses related to curating a punk compilation album which, when sold along with related merchandise, should raise more than £4000 for Mind.

The £1000+ raised from this crowdfunding campaign will be used to pay for mastering, duplication, marketing material, merchandise, postage, the domain name and other related costs. All of which I will publish for total transparency.

400 hundred CD’s will be produced featuring established and grass routes acts. These will be sold from special counter display units in select independent record stores nation-wide as well as from the artist themselves. Proceeds will be sent direct to Mind. Legendary label Cherry Red Records are kindly arranging the downloads and streaming.

Album line up:
Stiff Little Fingers / Angelic Upstarts / The Defects / Subculture / 5 Go Mad / Apple Shift Seven / Wreck-Age / Wake The City / Knock Off / Born To Destruct / Jonny And The Mental Breakdowns / RT-Zed / The Schamakazi Pilot / Hazard / UK Vomit / Spring Park

There will be a launch party / all-dayer event held at The Bear in Northampton on June 17th, featuring contributing acts.

I hope, should this release prove a success, to produce further volumes on an annual basis.

I really do hope you can help me achieve my goal.

Thank you so much for reading this.
