“From the Start [Demo]”
BE GAY, DO CRIME! (2020)
Girlsville
Aside from kicking off with a quick minute-and-a-half rager from SF-founded, LA-based punk rock psychonauts Oh Sees, the new compilation BE GAY, DO CRIME! features a short demo by Oakland pop punk group Blues Lawyer. The studio version of the album appears on the band’s 2019 EP Something Different, but there’s something about the demo that’s so sweet and infectious.
Released by Portland label Girlsville, the punk rock compilation is a benefit for (also Portland-based) Prism Health, which offers “safe, compassionate, and affirming primary and mental health care to all members of the LGBTQ+ community." Other featured artists include UK Gold, Gen Pop, The Primitives, and Special Interest.
