The Fest 7 Freebies


The Fest is my kind of punk festival - too bad it's on the other side of the continent.  But for those of us not in Florida, there's always the annual Fest sampler, this year boasting 34 songs by various artists.  Since The Fest 7 is tomorrow night, I figured it would be the perfect time to update this blog.  With 34 artists on this compilation alone, there's sure to be something for everyone and a new discovery around every bend.  Heck, I consider myself well versed in this type of thing and I've never heard of at least 3/4 of that list.
