Altpress Exclusive: Brand new Shook Ones song available for $1

Melodic hardcore outfit Shook Ones have teamed up with their label, Paper + Plastick, to offer a brand new song available for download for $1. You can pick it up here. All proceeds from sales of "Breakfast For Dinner" will benefit organizations fighting on behalf of same-sex couples. The song will soon be released on a limited edition, one-sided 5-inch vinyl single. Shook Ones frontman Scott Freeman made this statement:
 

"The song is a sort of follow up to 'Order Form' and deals with the passage of Proposition 8. More specifically, it deals with how many minority groups in California voted in much higher percentages to support the proposition, and how I was completely disappointed that these minorities who supported it were failing to draw comparisons between this bill and the struggles of minorities in this country.

In light of the recent Supreme Court decision in California we wanted to make the song available as soon as possible… thus the digital download. But wait, there is more!!!

As soon as humanly possible, “Breakfast for Dinner” will appear by itself on a one sided, limited edition 5” vinyl. It will have etching on the B side and will have a hand-screened jacket that will be filled to the brim with literature from all the groups who are involved in making Proposition 8 and other bills like it a thing of the past. These should be ready in about a month and a half and all the proceeds from this will also be donated to the groups mentioned before with the addition of the ACLU of Washington who will be fighting Referendum 71."
