Punk Outlaw Records' Compilation Punktology "Free Cuba Now!" on iTunes & Amazon   (December 12, 2011)

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) December 12, 2011

Punk Outlaw® Records announced the release of their first compilation collection, Punktology Volume 1 Free Cuba Now! The compilation features independent punk and hardcore music from Latin America and the Caribbean and is available on a variety of platforms including i-Tunes, Amazon Music, CD Baby and other digital music retailers.

The collection strives to showcase a variety of punk music from Latin America and the Caribbean to North American and European audiences. The title Free Cuba Now was chosen to help bring attention to the fact that Cuban punks, as well as many other subcultures on the island nation of Cuba, still suffer from suppression of their freedom of expression at the hands of the Cuban government.

The musical compilation is the first from the fledgling music label and features artists covered in the documentary Punktology, which is currently in production at Punk Outlaws® production banner and hopes to help shed light on the worldwide influence of punk music in unlikely places, like Cuba.

While working on the documentary, I visited Cuba and witnessed firsthand the incredible lack of basic freedom of expression we take for granted in much of the western world, when one of our interviewees was arrested for simply speaking to us states Robert G. Rose, Founder of Punk Outlaw Records and Executive Producer of Punktology. Punk music is at its best when its railing against injustice. This music comes from a variety of bands from different countries, each with their own issues such as social inequality, government corruption and crippling poverty. Yet freedom of expression is a basic human right that most enjoy and we think Cubans and all human beings deserve this right as well. Rose continues.

Punk Outlaw Records has pledged 25% of the record labels share of net profits to charitable organizations whose missions are to help Cubans, including, Cuba Skate (http://www.CubaSkate.com), a U.S. based charity providing skateboarding equipment, clothing and better opportunities for Cuban youth.

Participating artists for the project hail from a variety of countries including: Los Suziox (Colombia), Rudos Wild (Uruguay), Anti-Everything (Trinidad), DMTR (Ecuador), El Terrible Y Los Mongoloides (Peru), Lokekeda (Colombia), Warning (Guatemala) and Fertil Miseria (Colombia).

The compilation is currently available for purchase at various digital online retailers including I-tunes, Amazon Music, Zune and more. Visit http://www.PunkOutlawRecords.com and http://www.Punktologycd.com to view a promotional video trailer and for more information.
