PUNK OUTLAW RECORDS\u2019 COMPILATION \u201cFREE CUBA NOW!\u201d ON I-TUNES <\/strong><\/p>\n – Punk Musicians from Latin America & Caribbean Join Label\u2019s Protest of Treatment of Cuban Punks – <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Los Angeles, CA \u2013December 8th, 2011<\/strong> \u2013 Punk Outlaw\u00ae Records<\/strong> announced the release of their first compilation collection, Punktology Volume 1 \u2013 Free Cuba Now!<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>\u00a0The compilation features independent punk and hardcore music from Latin America and the Caribbean and is available on a variety of platforms including i-Tunes<\/strong><\/a>, Amazon Music<\/a>, CD Baby<\/a><\/strong> and other digital music retailers.<\/p>\n The collection strives to showcase a variety of punk music from Latin America and the Caribbean to North American and European audiences. \u00a0The title \u201cFree Cuba Now\u201d<\/strong> was chosen to help bring attention to the fact that Cuban punks, as well as many other subcultures on the island nation of Cuba, still suffer from suppression of their freedom of expression at the hands of the Cuban government.<\/p>\n The musical compilation is the first from the fledgling music label and features artists covered in the documentary \u201cPunktology\u201d,<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>which is currently in production at Punk Outlaw\u2019s\u00ae production banner \u00a0and hopes to help shed light on the worldwide influence of punk music in unlikely places, like Cuba.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile working on the documentary, I visited Cuba and witnessed firsthand the incredible lack of basic freedom of expression we take for granted in much of the western world, when one of our interviewees was arrested for simply speaking to us\u201d states Robert G. Rose<\/em><\/strong>, Founder of Punk Outlaw Records and Executive Producer of Punktology. \u201cPunk music is at its best when it\u2019s railing against injustice. This music comes from a variety of bands from different countries, each with their own issues such as social inequality, government corruption and crippling poverty. Yet \u00a0freedom of expression is a basic human right that most enjoy and we think Cubans and all human beings deserve this right as well.\u201d Rose continues.<\/p>\n Punk Outlaw Records has pledged 25% of the record label\u2019s share of net profits to charitable organizations whose missions are to help Cubans, including, Cuba Skate<\/a>, a U.S. based charity providing skateboarding equipment, clothing and better opportunities for Cuban youth.<\/p>\n Participating artists for the project hail from a variety of countries including: Los Suziox<\/strong> (Colombia), Rudos Wild<\/strong> (Uruguay), Anti-Everything<\/strong> (Trinidad), DMTR <\/strong>(Ecuador), El Terrible Y Los Mongoloides<\/strong> (Peru), Lokekeda <\/strong>(Colombia), Warning<\/strong> (Guatemala) and Fertil Miseria<\/strong> (Colombia).<\/p>\n The compilation is currently available for purchase at various digital online retailers including I-tunes, Amazon Music, Zune and more. \u00a0Visit www.PunkOutlawRecords.com<\/strong><\/a> and www.Punktologycd.com<\/a> to view a promotional video trailer and for more information.<\/p>\n # # #<\/p>\n SPANISH TRANSLATION:<\/p>\n COMPILACI\u00d3N \u201cFREE CUBA NOW!\u201d DE PUNK OUTLAW RECORDS EN I-TUNES<\/strong><\/p>\n – Los m\u00fasicos de Punk de Latinoam\u00e9rica y el Caribe se unen a la protesta del sello discogr\u00e1fico con respecto al trato que se les da a los m\u00fasicos de punk cubanos –<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
