Look, not everyone cares about Christmas or holiday-themed music, but we all care about great underground music coming out of Australia, right?

So Fresh: Tote-ally Summer For Black Peoples Union is a massive 65-band compilation that brings together a whole lot of familiar names we’ve covered over the years: Billiam, Leatherman, The Gnomes, Game Set Match, The States, Loose Lips, and plenty more. Not everything here is previously unreleased, but there’s no shortage of surprises — including covers, live tracks, and plenty of material you probably haven’t heard before.

The release coincides with a mini-festival held last Sunday at The Tote, and in proper seasonal spirit, 100% of the Bandcamp proceeds go to Black Peoples Union. You can buy this digital compilation for just $5, or donate more to the cause directly, and mail the receipt to obtain a download code. Anyone looking for a politically neutral experience should look elsewhere: the liner notes are upfront about the fact that these recordings were made on stolen, unceded land. A huge compilation with a clear purpose — and a lot of great music to dig into.
