Due to unforeseen circumstances, plans change.

Initially intended for launch on U.S. Memorial Day, as it had been for previous editions, The Co-Op Communique Volume 5 appeared on Labor Day, and hopefully for all it was worth the wait. An annual collection, The Co-Op Communique intends to cross-pollinate fans of independent artists, giving them the opportunity to hear performers they otherwise might not have,

Best of all is that none of the artists were charged to be placed on the set, and you can either stream or download the collection for free on Bandcamp.com. The sole purpose and hope is that you’ll hear something new that will encourage you to click the artists’ links and seek out more.
