Taking cues from Epitaph's Punk-O-Rama, Fat Wreck Chords' Fat Music For Fat People, and Hopeless' Hopelessly Devoted To You series, Bright & Barrow enlisted bands hailing from the five boroughs, Long Island, and New Jersey for this compilation to highlight the punk scene that has taken a backseat over the past decade to the indie and pop movements.

“This comp not only causes a scene but defines one. It demonstrates that pop-punk is alive and well, and can still survive even when it is more punk than pop. Each band featured on Cause a Scene comp are solid yet retain their grit, with a mix of old school and new school… The best $5 you’ll spend this month,” comments MyCrazyMusicBlog, while Alternative Press adds, “You get playful, earnest pop-punk cuts like the mildly cutesy, synth-accompanied 'Anymore Amen' by the Tattle Tales, the gruffer charge of Wax Phantom’s 'See-Thru' and Stewart’s 'Dance With Me'—the last of these is peppy, girl-fronted pop-punk that actually resembles the Measure (who appear later with 'Roof Beers'). Compared to the rest of the comp, A Clear Blurr’s 'Barely Breathing' is tempered in a Broadway Calls-ish manner, and is definitely a standout as a result. Banquets’ 'Eleanor, I Need A Garden' is a cut by the newest project from ex-Let Me Run frontman Travis Omilian, and it’s largely in that slightly gritty, Americana-tinged vein. Speaking of which, the Reveling amplify that mode with gravelly punky tones on the rugged but solid 'The Faces We Know'.”
