Strength Records To Release Massive “Respect Your Roots” Compilation

From the inbox:

Finally it’s ready! The highly anticipated sampler from Strength Records combining the best of the best out of various subculture scenes!

As a follow up of the very successful “Worldwide Tribute to the Real Oi!” albums, Roger [Miret] and Onno [Cro-Mag] now compiled a sampler with the scene’s best bands around today going back to their roots and covering the songs of their youth. This time the bands were free to choose whatever song they wanted to cover and were not restricted to a genre or a style.

The result is an impressive tracklist with a great variety of songs and is combining the best of hardcore, punk, oi!, rock, rock n roll and a shot of metal.

The CD comes with an impressive 36 (!) page full-colour booklet with band pictures, info and a story from each band about the song they chose to cover.
