Protect is the coming together of 26 artists to support said organization, giving all proceeds to the cause. Included are rare, unreleased, and/or new tracks.
Insightful interviews with band members, roadies, tour manager, merch guy, and other selected friends intermingled with live footage and other candid moments.
Social Distortion, The Offspring, and Jello Biafra with DOA are called up from the reserves. Stalwarts NOFX, Pennywise, and Anti-Flag provide dutiful service.
