“Proof of Us” was Dollar Store Riot’s first official single release back in 2014 as part of Rent Party’s 5th Anniversary Collection CD.
All the proceeds from the sale of this double CD went to help fight hunger in the SOMA, NJ community.
The band was lucky to be able to play many Rent Party events in the past, sharing the stage with many of their friends to contribute to a great cause!

“Proof of Us” was tracked and mixed by Anders Fransson in his garage studio in South Orange, NJ sometime in 2014 as part of the “Giant Swede” sessions.
Another smashing cover design by Nancy Cook!
The song can be found on Spotify and all other music streaming services:
Also can be downloaded via Bandcamp. (any revenue made will be returned to Rent Party):
