Guitar Center and legendary alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins have teamed up to bring you Fresh Cuts Vol. 2. Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlain have hand-selected 13 tracks submitted by GC employees across the country. Fresh Cuts Vol. 2 also exclusively features “SuperChrist,” an original song by The Smashing Pumpkins recorded specifically for the compilation.

“Guitar Center asked us if we would be interested in contributing a song to this compilation of young artists to help draw attention to the bands," says Pumpkins frontman Billy. "We loved the idea, and think Guitar Center is way ahead of the curve of what is possible between musicians and reaching new audiences."

Fifty thousand copies of Fresh Cuts Vol. 2 CDs are available now. Pick up your FREE copy at your local Guitar Center while they last!
