"VS the Earthquake" charity compilation unveiled

Man Overboard, Transit, Title Fight among others have contributed for a 22 track compilation, from which all proceeds will go straight to relief for Japan.

The comp is a collection of unreleased, rare to find songs from some of melodic/pop punks biggest names at the moment, who are all doing their bit for the disaster that's gripping the world at the moment.

Jordan of La Dispute had this to say about it:

"I'm certain there's nothing we can say that speaks to the need for aid and assistance any better than the footage of the event itself and we've all seen it. The catastrophe itself speaks better to the need for help than anything else. In that way, you and everyone involved knows already that compassion is needed now, and downloading music is just a medium to do so, not a reason to be convinced. But it seems especially fitting to do so here, in this medium, because it brings us together around a thing founded on the same sense of community that is so desperately needed in Japan right now--the kind of community that loves and cares indiscriminately, and that comes together in a time of need to help where help is needed. We know where it's needed now, and we know how to help. Do your part to support the community in Japan, either here or elsewhere."
