Korn‘s Jonathan Davis was so excited by ORGY that he created his own record label …
US punk rock’s biggest names including Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day and Tim Armstrong of Rancid have formed Armstrongs to benefit Berkeley, CA’s 924 Gilman, a not-for-profit, all-ages community art and performance space.
It’s an Armstrongs only affair, with Joey Armstrong (SWMRS) and Rey Armstrong rounding out the line-up. They’ve released their first track If There Ever Was a Time, with 100% of proceeds going to the centre. The track will see a digital release via Hellcat Records on 28th July. It will also have limited run of 1,000 flexi-disc copies, which you can find out more about here.
“Anything that has to do with working with Gilman and Tim and Joey Armstrong, consider me in,” says Billie Joe in a statement. “This is about our home and family. Viva Armstrong!”
The track also featured in the documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk.
“It was exciting to work on this song with Billie and crew for the film,” says Tim. “Stoked to share the tune with everyone out there and to be donating all the proceeds to Gilman, which is a place so near, dear, and important to us.”
