"the covers record "started out as a fun light exercise fueled by an eternal love and fandom" for the band and album. "I 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.""
""How 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 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.""
Madi Diaz released Enema of the Garden State, a full-album cover of Blink-182's Enema of the State, available exclusively on Bandcamp via Anti-. The record includes covers such as "Don't Leave Me" and "Anthem" and follows the recent release Fatal Optimist. The project began as a light, nostalgic exercise aimed at punky acoustic arrangements without overthinking. Release plans changed after awareness of mass-deportation policies, prompting a fundraising decision. All proceeds will go to the Defending Our Neighbors Fund to support immigrant families and individuals in need of legal defense and resources. The project expresses explicit opposition to ICE.
