With “punk” evolving in recent years to embrace emo, screamo, and even hardcore, and nerd rappers like Atmosphere headlining the Warped Tour, Epitaph’s multi-million selling compilation series PUNK-O-RAMA has evolved to include the myriad new sounds now gathered under the “punk” umbrella. With a new sound comes a new name – UNSOUND – for the longest running, best-selling cheap comp series in the history of recorded music. Like PUNK-O-RAMA, UNSOUND will feature Epitaph legends (Bad Religion, Pennywise), new favorites (From First to Last, DANGERDOOM), and great new bands like Escape the Fate and The Draft, destined to be next year’s breakouts. Stickered and aggressively marketed as the continuation of the PUNK-O-RAMA series, UNSOUND should quickly take its place alongside the Warped Tour compilation as one of the must-have impulse CDs of the summer.
