Help Carrie Whitney re-release
All About Friends

Brooklyn-based photographer Carrie Whitney has an ambitious project in the works, and she needs our help! She is re-releasing her 97 compilation, All About Friends, with music from C.R., Coalesce, Botch, Threadbare, Indecision, Trial and more, as a double LP limited vinyl release of 1000 (333 on colored vinyl), featuring silkscreened, hand-made covers and a 12 page full color booklet. The booklet is a fanzine celebrating the friendship and creativity of the contributing bands and photographers, and features contributions from Bricks Avalon, Greg Bennick, Brian Cook, Justin Borucki, Rebecca Bolte, Tim Fears, Markus Shaffer, Dean Landry and many more. To get involved, visit her Kickstarter campaign, which ends on March 15th, 2012, and pledge $1 or more to support the release of this epic compilation. For a variety of pledges, you can get anything from digital downloads, to gorgeous vinyl, to tickets to the record release show at St. Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, to posters and t-shirts, to prints of some of Carrie Whitney’s live photography, to all of the above. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved, but it means we have to get involved to make it happen. After the jump, check out all the details, photos and tracklistings, and make sure to check out the Kickstarter campaign for all the info and to see how you can support this project!

These are excerpts from the little write ups that a few band members are contributing to the comp’s booklet. These quotes are taken wildly out of context but they make you want to read more none the less! – Carrie

“We could have covered something way more interesting like “Beat It” or “U Can’t Touch This”? Ah, hindsight. Always 20/20.” – Greg Bennick from Trial and Between Earth & Sky

“The music was a graceful brutality, the shows were an energy that can never be described in a million words, and the camaraderie bled for each other.” – Bricks Avalon of C.R.

“Dialogue went from skateboarding, to music, and to playing music. Jay had a little setup in his garage and we jammed for the first time.” – June Cate of I Wish I and Impel

“We busted out the song in the cramped quarters of his makeshift home studio over the course of an afternoon, leaving in a clearly audible fuck-up in the bass department.” – Brian Cook of Botch, These Arms Are Snakes and Russian Circles
