Setoff to record acoustic album and give it away for free

San Francisco’s punk rockers Setoff have been without a bass player for about a year now, and while most bands might find that discouraging enough to throw in the towel, these guys have instead decided to head into the studio.  No bass, no problem.  They’re just going to do it acoustic and then release the […]

setoffSan Francisco’s punk rockers Setoff have been without a bass player for about a year now, and while most bands might find that discouraging enough to throw in the towel, these guys have instead decided to head into the studio.  No bass, no problem.  They’re just going to do it acoustic and then release the tracks to fans for free as a “thank you” for sticking it out with them.

If you want the tracks send a message to the band on their MySpace page.

Free compilation (with actually good bands) from Anchor Eighty Four Records

anchor-eighty-fourIt is absolutely impossible to know every punk band out there.  It’s not even possible to not know every single good punk band, which is why I was stoked when I cam across this free digital compilation from newly formed Anchor Eighty Four Records.  It features 7 songs from 7 bands and you can give it a listen (and a free download) right here.

Admittedly, I wasn’t familiar with all the bands on this comp but I’ve just added a few more to my radar.  Definitely worth checking out for punk fans looking for new music.

“Words can’t fully express the amount of gratitude we owe to all the people who have made being in this band so much fun. We wouldn’t have lasted these last six years without you. Whether you were singing along, dancing, booking a show for us(at home or on tour), buying our merch, giving us a place to stay, feeding us, letting us borrow your equipment or just taking the time to give us a few kind words(at shows or by sending us an email). They really made this whole thing feel worth it.”

A few of the band members have formed a new band called Time On Fire and they plan on recording new music soon.
