About Not Safe To Drink: Frustrated with the lack of response from the music industry at large to the Flint water crisis, Michigan natives Jonathan Diener (drummer for The Swellers) and James Shotwell (Marketing coordinator for Haulix) have partnered create a compilation aimed at bringing attention and relief to the problems plaguing those that live in The Vehicle City. Their involvement, as well as that of every artist and label that contributes material, is entirely unpaid.
