Supernova International Ska Festival has released a new compilation today called Ska Cares: A Global Benefit for the Alpha Institute, that will benefit The Alpha Institute, one of the birthplaces of ska music. The one thing that makes this compilation extra special is The Pietasters recorded a new song, their first new song in a trillion years it seems. You can find the digital, limited double vinyl (limited to 500 copies), and tee shirts at Bandcamp (hey it’s Bandcamp Friday!)
