Rioting for a Good Cause
According to Naomi Scott of Brooklyn's Basic Bitches, "I was thinking about all the great bands I had been playing with around NY and NJ and how great it would be to try to collect us all together in the style of the punk compilations and label samplers so many of us listened to in the 90s /early 00s. Bandcamp seemed the best place to do it, in order to keep costs down, and it seemed like a great opportunity to raise money for a good cause."

Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls is a non-profit music and mentoring program serving over 500 New York City girls, women, and gender non-conforming youth. They run summer camps, after-school programs, and community events; and, thanks to their Fairness Fund, tuition is either free or on a sliding scale. In that way, Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls is able to encourage campers to take control of their creative process and to build a community regardless of applicants' financial resources.
Band Cramps Volume 1 is a great introduction to some of the amazing bands toiling and ripping it up in NJ and NY. You can discover something new while helping out a great cause.
