Madi Diaz<\/a> has released a full-album cover of Blink-182<\/a>\u2019s Enema of the State<\/em><\/a> to support the Defending Our Neighbors Fund<\/a>. Titled Enema of the Garden State<\/em><\/a>, Diaz\u2019s album is available exclusively on Bandcamp, via Anti-<\/a>. Listen to \u201cDon\u2019t Leave Me\u201d and \u201cAnthem\u201d below and click through to buy the album on Bandcamp.<\/p>\n

The Nashville singer-songwriter, who released Fatal Optimist<\/em><\/a> last month, says in press materials that the covers record \u201cstarted out as a fun light exercise fueled by an eternal love and fandom\u201d for the band and album. \u201cI wanted to see if I could let the nostalgia drive my memory for the lyrics and tear through a punky acoustic arrangement. No planning, no overthinking, no analyzing allowed, just ripping into the songs. It was pure fun, pure joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diaz adds that she did not plan to release the record until the extent of the Trump administration\u2019s mass-deportation program became clear. \u201cI started thinking about how incredible the name Enema of the State<\/em> is for a record,\u201d\u00a0she says. \u201cHow the title is somehow so current and politically, culturally, socially, insanely ironic. And we thought maybe we could use this version of Enema of the (Garden) State<\/em> to raise awareness and money for people in need of defense and aid in their right to live and work and breathe and be and stay on American soil. Every penny this project generates will go to Defending Our Neighbors Fund. This will help give immigrant families, adults, young children, and so many of those in need of advocates, access to resources through this support system. Thank you so much for listening. For me, it\u2019s become so much more than just a nostalgia for teenage rebellion against mom and dad. Fuck ICE. Enema of the State<\/em> Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
