A SANTA CAUSE II CONTINUING THE FIGHT AGAINST AUTISM

Immortal Records has released A Santa Cause II, a punk rock compilation of Holiday standards benefiting the fight against Autism. With proceeds going directly to the charity Cure Autism Now, the compilation is available for purchase exclusively through Myspace (myspace.com/asantacause.) The CD features 26 bands, all contributing brand new holiday favorites including Sugarcult, It Dies Today, The Format, Haste the Day, Brazil, Action Action, Agent Sparks (w/ Mike Einziger of Incubus and Sam Farrar of Phantom Planet) and much more.

We caught up with Tim and Marko of Sugarcult to find out a little about the compilation and why they wanted to be a part of such a worthy cause.

“We found out about a comp that was coming together not that long ago, maybe like a few months ago and then we heard about the cause and we wanted to get involved. The song had been recorded some time ago, yeah we recorded it a while ago and we never used it for anything and we thought well, we’ll keep it just in case something like this comes along and in all seriousness we have close friends that have dealt with Autism in their lives, that have kids that are Autistic and we just want to help out.”

We also wanted to know more about how to purchase the compilation and lend a hand in the battle against Autism.

“They are not even releasing an actual physical copy of it. It’s something you can only get on MySpace and it’s going to cost you .99 cents per song or you can buy the whole thing for ten dollars. Sure you can buy that thing and burn a copy for your friend or you can tell your friend you know what, it’s really not that expensive and every dollar goes to a good cause of helping people that are dealing with Autism and finding a cure for Autism so people won’t have to deal with that anymore.”

A Santa Cause II features well known bands and up and coming bands performing such holiday songs as ‘Santa Clause is Coming to Town’, ‘I’ll be Home for Christmas’, ‘Feliz Navidad’ and ‘O Holy Night’ to name just a few. Check out Immortals myspace page as well for more details.
