Those Darlins, Polar Bear Club, Amanda Palmer, New York Rivals, Black Francis, The Tellers, Mike Watt, The Suicide Dolls, Matthew Sweet, Moses Coltrane, and Weekend cover tracks!

 

American Laundromat Records (ALR) had a blast working on a tribute to one of their favorite flicks of all time - the 1984 cult classic "Repo Man" written & directed by Alex Cox, and starring Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez. The original soundtrack celebrated the southern California punk movement of the late 70's/early 80's with bands Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Suicidal Tendencies, The Plugz, and Iggy Pop. ALR recruited an outstanding group of artists to cover these now-classic punk tracks. Worldwide release date is September 18th.
