COMP 2020 by Tape Dad

Here it is! The first ever Tape Dad compilation tape. This is something I've been trying to finish for nearly as long as the label has existed, but it only really started taking shape at the beginning of Spring when the Covid quarantine started. It was originally intended to come out on Father's Day, but was delayed because of the pandemic. This selection of songs includes tracks from the last two years of Tape Dad releases, demos from artists on the roster, a few tracks from future releases, and even a song from a band with no affiliation with the label (other than being good buds). It's a crazy hodge podge of different genres, styles, cities of origin, and friends, which makes it a pretty good representation of what Tape Dad has accomplished since the 2018.

The release of this compilation is the first celebration of a new yearly tradition for Tape Dad. Every year we will release a comp, hopefully on Father's Day, to raise funds for both future ambitions of the label and charity organizations which represent the values of TD and our artists. This year we will be donating at least 50% of proceeds to the Arkansas Marshallese COVID Emergency Fund. You can make a direct donation here:

Many thanks to all the artists who contributed music to this comp and to every artist who I've had the pleasure to work with the past two years. Cheers to y'all!
