ABOUT THIS COMPILATION:
I was fortunate enough to be a part of this amazing benefit compilation to benefit a great cause. The comp features an early alternate recording of my song '84 Rookie Card which was written about my friend Gordon Riker who passed away in a tragic bicycle accident in 2007. The proceeds of the sale of this record after physical costs will go to an organization called Helping Everyone Live Longer, H.E.L.L. for short, a Boston, MA non-profit dedicated to providing free bike helmets to any resident who needs or wants one. Pick one up, it's for a great cause that means a lot to me.
Thank you, Brian
In 2007, Gordon Riker & Kelly Wallace both tragically passed away in bike accidents in Boston, MA. Shortly after, friends of their's started a non-profit organization titled H.E.L.L. (Helping Everyone Live Longer). H.E.L.L. is a DIY group that primarily operates in Boston's punk and hardcore scene that both Gordon and Kelly were heavily involved in. H.E.L.L.'s main goal is to give out free helmets from donations while raising bike safety awareness.
This compilation features songs and artwork from Gordon and Kelly's friends, family, and favorite bands, as well as a few others who have lost someone close to them. Contributions are not just primarily from the Greater Boston area, but also Florida, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Quebec. All proceeds from this compilation will go directly to helping keep H.E.L.L. alive.
