Bam & Jess Margera's Filthy Note Records Share Charity Single Cover of Blur's "Song 2" Featuring Anthony Green (Circa Survive, Saosin)

"New single for charity out now on Filthy Note Records Feat. Rake Yohn, Jess [Margera] on drums, Anthony Green (Circa Survive,) Mike & Jessica Cummings (Backwoods Payback,) Phillipa [Tank] from Roadkiller, Rick Tate (Mos Def, The Roots,) and Chris Weyh (A Life Once Lost.) Cover art by Juliette Margera," Bam Margera posted on his Facebook page last week. Bam and his brother, Jess Margera (CKY,) started their own Pennsylvania-based record label imprint, Filthy Note Records, in 2006. Filthy Note has issued releases from Vains of Jenna, Viking Skull, F**kface Unstoppable/FFU, Evesdroppers, Sovereign Eagle, Unkle Matt & The Sh*tbirdz, and various film soundtracks.


It seems as though The Margeras have been hanging out with their famous and musically-talented friends as of late and just jammin' out for a handful of good causes. Like we mentioned above, Filthy Note's latest release is a cover of Blur's 1997 smash single, "Song 2," of which all proceeds raised being donated directly to the Victims First charity fund set up to help families who lost their loved ones in the tragic Ulvade, Texas School Shooting. "We filmed an @anthonygreen666 video here a little bit ago and we jammed a Blur song for sh*ts 'n' gigs. Thanks @rakeyohn007, @roadkillerofficial, @backwoodspayback, @r1000beatz, [and] @chrisweyh all proceeds go to the Victims First charity for families who lost kids in the Uvalde, Texas School Shooting..." Jess Margera (@jessmargera) posted on his Instagram page.


We've included Anthony Green & The High & Driving Band's video for their new single, "Don't Dance," featuring Jess "wearing a Harry Potter robe because [he's] a f***ing wizard!" Along with "WOO WOO (Song #2,)" we strongly recommend checking out and supporting Filthy Note Records' Untitled Album boasting appearances by everyone from Sum 41's Dave "Brownsound" Baksh to Ween co-founder Dean Ween doing spirited covers of everyone from Danzig to Alice In Chains. There's, also, a rendition of Joe Cocker's "Feeling Alright" featuring Neil Fallon (Clutch,) Mike Bardzik (The Boils, THUNDER & GLORY,) and a bunch of additional talented musicians, as well as a cover of Ween's "Did You See Me?" again, featuring Anthony Green & Jess Margera with Brad Davis (Fu Manchu) and a who's-who of names you'll just have to Google for yourself.


Back in May, Jess Margera shared this heart-felt message from his private Instagram page: "I will be putting up music I have been doing with a bunch of my friends lately and I will be giving all of the money to the VictimsFirst fund going to the families of the kids that were murdered and the kids of the two teachers who were murdered." So, stayed tuned for more and support a great, however, unfortuante cause. Check out all of this and more at Filthy Note Records' very recently active Bandcamp page. Anthony Green & The High & Driving Band's debut album, BOOM. DONE. drops July 22, 2022 on Born Losers Records. We send our thoughts and prayers to Bam Margera, who appears to be going through another stint in rehab, and his family, as well.
