To support the imprisoned members of the Russian feminist punk group Pussy Riot, German label F.A.M.E.D. Records is releasing a record with a compilation of contributions of various bands. All benefits of the project will be donated to the support fund of Pussy Riot (www.freepussyriot.org). Besides raising money for the imprisoned women, the project also intends to show a clear sign of international solidarity to Pussy Riot. We were surprised and amazed about the great support from the local and international punk scene. By now, we have had more support requests from bands than we have space for on the record. The collaborative support towards, and solidarity with Pussy Riot in the punk scene is reflected in the diversity of different styles on the compilation: from Danish power-pop to German hardcore to melodic punk. The following bands are represented on the compilation: The Movement (DK) , ZSK , Atlas Losing Grip (Sweden), Missrata, Rantanplan, Pestpocken, Cut My Skin, Hausvabot , Antidote (Netherlands), Diva-Kollektiv, Die Ärzte, The Boring (France), Patsy Stone, Feine Sahne Fischfilet, Restarts (UK) , The Living Deadbeats (Canada)…

The LP (including MP3 download code) is strictly limited to 500 copies. Release date: end of September. Order now at www.famed-rec.de. All money raised (excluding production costs) will be donated to Pussy Riot legal fund.
