Unsound (compilation series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unsound is a series of compilation albums released by the record label Epitaph Records starting in 2006.

It is the successor of the Punk-O-Rama series which had its last of ten releases in 2005. The reason Unsound started was because Epitaph Records wanted to showcase the diverse acts on their label. Since they have expanded beyond punk, the name Punk-O-Rama did not seem appropriate anymore. Another difference between Punk-O-Rama and Unsound is that Unsound has so far only included bands on Epitaph Records. This is different than Punk-O-Rama in that Punk-O-Rama included bands from Epitaph related labels, such as Hellcat Records and Burning Heart Records.
