Today marks the release of Knifetwister Records’ new compilation album Not In Our City: A Punk Compilation to Benefit NYC’s Homeless. The comp features 21 tracks from bands based around New York City (along with one band based in Las Vegas) including Rebelmatic, Butterbrain, GIFTSHOP, God’s Favorite, The Car Bomb Parade, RBNX, Trouble Bound, CHAKA, Best Bones, Coventry Carols, Spesia, MANiK, and We Might Die. All proceeds from the sale of the comp will be donated to the Bowery Mission in New York City, a nonprofit that provides shelter and hot meals for those experiencing homelessness. This comp is dedicated to Raph of Knifetwister Records’ late stepfather, who partly funded the record. Speaking about this, Raph said, ”Funding for this came from two sources. The company Dispoze-A-Bowl (Rob Coscia from the band Tomorrow’s Dream and Mike Caldarella from CHAKA) kicked in a small amount, but the bulk of the funding came from a 25-year-old forgotten piece of paper. A few months ago, my brother was going through his old papers and discovered a document nobody had ever seen. My stepfather, who died of leukemia in December 1999, apparently left his life insurance policy to my brother, my sister, and myself. My mother decided to honor his wishes and advanced me some money, which is funding this compilation. I loved him very much, and the CD is dedicated to his memory.” The cover art was created by Chris Yee from RockToonz and is made up of several locations around the city. Speaking about the decision to include these places, Chris said,  “Pearl Paint on Canal St.- famous art store, I believe, opened on Canal in 1938, closed in 2014. The original location on Church St. opened in 1933. The Bowery Mission- began in 1879 when founders Rev. Albert and Ellen Ruliffson opened a mission on the Bowery in New York City. The Bowery Electric- music venue, co-owned by Jesse Malin, opened in 2009 and continues the East Village's punk-rock tradition, providing a space for both up-and-coming and established bands. Bottom L-R: 63 Bank St.- in Greenwich Village; girlfriend's apartment where Sid Vicious overdosed. I originally thought this was in The Bowery, but thought it was too "cool" to take out. Chinatown, which borders The Bowery. CBGB's- no explanation needed.” We caught up with all 21 bands on the comp to hear the stories behind the tracks they picked. Not In Our City: A Punk Compilation To Benefit NYC’s Homeless is available on CD now and you can pick up a copy right here. Read the track-by-track breakdown below!
