We’re incredibly excited to announce Run For Cover Records’ fiftieth release, a compilation called MIXED SIGNALS.

The compilation marks a special occasion and milestone for the label.  After seven years of working with so many incredible people and bands, watching them grow and doing some growing ourselves, we wanted to take this opportunity to show that the independent music community is stronger than ever.

Mixed Signals offers a snapshot of the diverse and immense talent in our scene.  It brings together new, unreleased and exclusive songs from a list of bands who collectively have released some of the most worthwhile records of the past few years, toured the world, and left an indelible impact on the many they’ve performed in front of.

Run For Cover and these 12 artists have come together to prove that the independent music scene is thriving – and it’s as important as ever.

Mixed Signals will be released August 30 on CD, vinyl and digital formats. Vinyl and CD formats will be accompanied by a 28-page, perfect-bound black and white booklet with photos, lyrics and liner notes from each band.  CDs will be exclusively available from Hot Topic for $4.98, as well as from bands on the road.
