Paperface Zine has been a go-to treasure chest for fans of outsider pop, offering deep dives into releases and Q&As with all the bands we love (and write about). So, it’s only fitting that their first tape release is a treasure trove of its own — a compilation bursting with unreleased tracks, demos, and covers from an all-star lineup. We’re talking Itchy & The Nits, Class, The Smashing Times, Plastic Act, The Umbrellas, Kiwi Jr., ABC Gum, Feeling Figures, Sharp Pins, Pack Rat, and so many more. Oh, and did I mention that both D’Addario brothers of The Lemon Twigs chip in, along with a hidden power-pop gem from Uni Boys’ Michael Cipolletti and Noah Nash? Yep, this tape is basically a who’s-who of cool underground acts.

Action Now! is not just a sampler platter of bands you should know; it’s a full-course meal of sounds that is just as tasty as a whole as experienced in seperate bites. Blast this on repeat, and I guarantee your day will instantly improve.

Oh, and there’s more. All proceeds from this compilation go directly to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, so you get killer tunes while supporting an important cause. Win-win, right?

Tape out now, with digital downloads available as well, both for just $10. Time to hit play!
