Madi Diaz Releases ‘Enema of the Garden State,’ Acoustic Blink-182 Cover Album for Charity

Proceeds go to the Defending Our Neighbors Fund supporting immigrant legal aid.

Overview

  • Enema of the Garden State is out now exclusively on Bandcamp via Anti- as a full-album cover of Blink-182’s Enema of the State.
  • Diaz says every penny from sales will benefit the Defending Our Neighbors Fund to provide resources and legal defense for immigrant families, adults, and children.
  • She recorded the tracks in New Jersey while working on her album Fatal Optimist, approaching the songs as raw, punky acoustic takes driven by nostalgia.
  • Diaz decided to release the recordings after the scope of the Trump administration’s mass-deportation program became clear, framing the project as a political statement.
  • Media coverage includes streaming previews of “Don’t Leave Me” and “Anthem,” with links directing listeners to purchase the album on Bandcamp.
