Tracks You Might Have Missed v2 is the incredible new punk, rock and alternative compilation album from independent record label Thumbhole Records, featuring a hand-picked collection of the best up-and-coming artists.

The release was compiled after opening submissions to all emerging punk, rock and alt bands across the globe. After receiving hundreds of entries, the label whittled it down to the top 20 best tracks.

The new compilation is the second of the label’s Tracks You Might Have Missed album series, filled with massive songs from emerging bands including Dead Neck, Captain Trips, 5 Year Plan, Marigolds, Deathcaps, Hollow Heart and many more. Following the successes of the first two compilations, the label has said that a volume 3 is already in the works.

Robecchetto con Induno skate punks LineOut released their third studio album Blast In Turbigo earlier this year and then went right back to work playing shows and recording videos.

Now, here’s the real cool part. Since you’re a DS reader, you get exclusive access to the premiere! Stream it a hundred…nay, a thousand times (and check out the tour dates) below!
