The CD were giving away, the Emo Anti-Valentines Day CD, is from Vitamin Records and has fourteen string quartet tributes to some of the most popular mainstream emo bands including: Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, Panic! at the Disco, and Fall out Boy.

Or as they say:

Flowers die. Candy makes you fat. This year save some money by saying no the greeting card companies’ conspiracy. If you’re one of the millions of people who don’t have a date for the 14th, Vitamin Records has your back! This compilation features fourteen hardcore, string quartet tributes to some of emo’s most legendary artists. Love blows! This doesn’t!

If you like the acoustic versions of songs, you need to try listening to the instrumental versions. I’ve listened to a few songs by the String Quartet and their all pretty good and true to the original track. I honestly didn’t think this CD was going to be all that great when I first heard about it, but I have a copy I’ve been listening to all day. It’s really chill, and is starting to grow more on me :-O

Check out the cd on vitamin records site for a full list of songs.
