For those who don't follow my record label thread, I recently put out a record by a Russian punk band called DATE RAPE. They are in the vein of Refused, Bravo Fucking Bravo, Comadre, Owls!. We have released 'Sugar Coated Violence' on CD & Digital.
We have ran into a bit of controversy trying to gain some press, due to their name. A lot of people have flipped out and won't even give the band a chance. Fair enough; that means more printed press for Decrepit Birth & Circle of Dead Children!
To find some positive, and to do something I have wanted to do with my label for a long time now is this...
Play The Assassin will be donating 100% of all digital sales and 75% of all CD sales of 'Sugar Coated Violence' to RAINN (Rape Abuse & Incest National Network). Visit them at
http://www.rainn.org.
The 17 song CD is $9.00 and comes with a free 320k MP3 download of the record as well as a 30 minute live audio recording of a concert from early 2012. If you are only interested in digital, the price is $4.99. Both mediums have been set up that you can pay whatever you want. We hope that you reach out and donate what you can! Remember, this is all for RAINN.
In addition, for all donations made in March & April 2012, I will personally match the total to add to the pot. I have two daughters of my own...

When sending the $$ to RAINN, I will be sure to include the names of everyone who donates.
I am sure this is all tax deductible as well, so another reason to help out!
