Quincy Punx organizing tribute CD to benefit the West Memphis Three

The Quincy Punx are/were a punk rock band from 1990-2007. In the course of their existence they have published over sixty songs. Mike Robertson played in the band for 17 years. Not ever a very political band, more just silly. Making fun of things overly offensive was something for us to laugh about. However, Mike, along with thousands of others, have never been more offended, confused, and just plain angry about a total and complete travesty of American justice such as the case of the West Memphis Three. That is why he has organized a "cover" CD of their songs for benefit of the West Memphis 3 defense fund.

Gathered in this tribute CD are 20+ bands covering, in their own style, various versions of Quincy Punx titles. Based out of St. Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota, it is their effort to benefit the defense fund for the West Memphis 3. This release will showcase many bands with their own take on music created by the Quincy Punx, all for the same common cause. Damien, Jason, and Jessie are running out of time and all support is crucial.
