Various Artists
Valley Churches United Benefit Comp: Neighbors Helping Neighbors Through Music<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Thumper Punk Records have released this rousing 21-track compilation, not only for listener enjoyment, but also for the benefit of a local food pantry, helping support people in the Santa Cruz, CA area who are struggling to put food on the table. 21 bands here from a wide range of punk styles: folk-punk to pop-punk to hardcore and even one black metal tune! Offerings are from a mixture of unsigned\/unknown bands to the incredibly prolific, and several international contributions as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Overall this a great compilation for someone wanting to dip their toes into the Christian punk scene, especially if wanting to sample a wide variety of bands and subgenres. Because the release is so lengthy, we\u2019re not going to go deep into a critical review, but rather just describe each artist and song briefly to give you an idea of the talent amassed here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Minor Rockstar kicks things off with \u201cAlive,\u201d a song not available on their recent EP
    which I reviewed for Heaven\u2019s Metal a few weeks ago. More of their alternative rock
    meets pop-punk sound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Shawn Browning, best known for his work in Grave Robber and the Migraines goes solo here, with \u201cBurning Bridges,\u201d which has a cool punk\/indie rock vibe, similar to late Husker Du, especially in the vocals which remind me a lot of Bob Mould from the Sugar era.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Sore Bones play snotty Brit-style punk, mixed with a little early Social Distortion on
    \u201cPrivate Affair.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Breakaway (from Latin America) offer up \u201cRefuge\u201d with some hardcore punk with oi
    tendencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Ritchie Nails supplies an acoustic punk track, \u201cThat\u2019s Okay with Me,\u201d with lyrics about
    not fitting anywhere or being \u201cgood enough\u201d due to being both a Christian and<\/em> a
    punk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The Jericho Harlot is a very talented hardcore punk from Indiana\/Kentucky, furnishing \u201cLiar Liar.\u201d Great to see them included here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Peter118, from the United Kingdom, offer up punk rock with a slight oi feel.
    \u201cConviction\u201d is not as poppy as some of their earlier material.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Chainstay play \u201cDeciduous,\u201d pop-punk tune with some slight easy-core tendencies (i.e. a mixture of pop-punk and hardcore, or \u2018major key hardcore\u2019).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Light the Way are not new to the scene, offering some pop-punk\/easy-core here on \u201cMy Cat Can Eat a Whole Watermelon.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Names Without Numbers, another veteran act, crank out more of their signature pop-punk\/emo sounds on \u201cWinter Wars.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Over Mortal offer some straight up alternative rock with \u201cWorld Needs Jesus, one of the more raw, underproduced\/unseasoned efforts here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. A.G. McIntosh crank out some very satisfying old school hardcore punk in the span of just 34 seconds! The tune is \u201cOnly in My Dreams.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Eduardo Thimoteos, another Latin American artist, supplies some alternative rock with \u201cThe Varoagem Song (Musica Para Varoar).\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. LA39 play an interesting sort of worshipful punk rock on \u201cBe Thankful.\u201d The
    raw\/underproduced feel here works in their favor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. 2Minute Minor, the incredibly prolific band from Chicago offer some more of the
    positive, intense, old school hardcore they are known for. Their contribution is \u201cMy
    Depression,\u201d and the song is about their own struggles with the illness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. CxMxF play \u201cBrothers in Christ,\u201d a throwback-to-the-90s chugga chugga style hardcore. I know nothing about this band, but I\u2019d like to know more. The song is a callout for Christian unity regardless of nationality or ethnicity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. Activistas furnish some scripture-based folk-punk in a cool, worshipful track called \u201cBe Transformed.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. Spergies dispense some fast-paced hardcore punk on \u201cPublic Safety Stomp.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  19. xDoulosx (not the black metal band) play high-quality hardcore on \u201c24 Thesis.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. Praiser, a German band, have dabbled in hardcore and punk, but here offer \u201cBurning
    Churches\u201d a chilling song with a cool mix of mostly black metal with underlying punk
    rhythms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. Aaron V Brown is a solo artist playing a punk\/metal hybried on \u201cDon\u2019t Bow Down.\u201d
    Overall this is a great compilation and well worth the $10, which also supports needy families. Head on over to https:\/\/thumperpunkrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/valley-churches-united-food-pantry-benefit-compilation for ordering.
