Punk Founding Fathers Toast 25 Yrs With 'Let Them Know' Out Today

NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - BYO, founded by Shawn and Mark Stern, also members of the band Youth Brigade, asked their favorite bands to record songs from the extensive BYO Records catalog.

Here's Pennywise's cover of the 7 Seconds original, "We're Gonna Fight": https://www.shorefire.com/media/Fight_20090826_115701.mp3

The resulting 31-track compilation album featuring NoFX, Pennywise, Dropkick Murphys, 7 Seconds, Leatherface, Nothington and Youth Brigade, along with a 90-minute documentary on the early LA punk scene, is available now. The limited-edition box set release contains two colored-vinyl LPs, the documentary on DVD, and a full-color, hardcover book. 'Let Them Know' is also available as a CD/DVD set with booklet, and digitally.

Many argue that the early '80s LA punk scene was wrongly overshadowed by New York and London's punks. With excellent archival footage and interviews with Ian McKaye, Fat Mike, the Sterns and others, the documentary, directed by Jeff Alulis, illustrates LA's role in the explosive movement. BYO played
an important part by promoting all-ages, non-violent shows and releasing seminal recordings like the 1982 'Someone Got Their Head Kicked In' compilation and early music from Social Distortion, Agression, SNFU and more.
