Take Action Volume 8 is a compilation CD/DVD released by Hopeless Records and their non-profit organization, Sub City. The Take Action compilations benefit DoSomething.org. With each sale, 5% of the proceeds will be donated to DoSomething.org. The goal of DoSomething.org is to empower the youth in our society, because they believe that young people know what needs to change within society, but they lack the means to do something about it. The organization donates money to young people to help them accomplish goals and make a difference within their community.
The CD includes tracks by Cute Is What We Aim For, Motion City Soundtrack, The Spill Canvas, Meg & Dia, Four Year Strong, and All Time Low. The CD includes songs previously unreleased by The Spill Canvas, Four Year Strong, and Meg & Dia.
