Ukraine Charity Compilations (2022)

I decided to compile a list of charity compilations from amazing independent record labels around the world, who have all been working tirelessly to raise funds for Ukraine during this horrific global crisis, and have all done a fantastic job. Please consider listening to these great compilations and donating some money to an extremely worthy cause. Ukraine needs our help, and this war affects us all.

Ideally I should have posted this on Bandcamp Friday, but it's been a hell of a week, and I haven't been in the best headspace to blog...for obvious reasons. 
I'm sure that there's a lot more great compilations out there that I haven't included in this post. If you know of any, just let me know and I'll add it to the list. These are just the ones I've been personally aware of. 

You can check out the individual Bandcamp links for mission statements and further info. And please share this post with anyone you think might be interested.

Outcast Tape Infirmary - Hope For Spring (Charity Compilation 2022)

 


GENRE : alternative, indie rock, punk rock, punk, emo, experimental, charity,
RECORD LABEL : Outcast Tape Infirmary

There was a lot of charity compilations released on yesterday's Bandcamp Friday, in support of various different causes. I had a super busy day, so I couldn't keep up with it all myself, unfortunately, but I was able to check out a couple of them and donate. 

Here's an awesome charity compilation from new-ish DIY tape label Outcast Tape Infirmary. See below for info...

(I'm going to do a separate blog post for compilation albums in support of Ukraine)

100% of all purchases will be donated to Hope For The Day - an organization that provides important resources for mental health issues and suicide prevention. It's no secret that we're all struggling right now, and we all know somebody else who is struggling. There is always hope. There is always someone out there who cares. It's Ok Not To Be Ok. For more info, check out HFTD.org

The artists who have contributed to this compilation are of no specific genre or style, which makes the whole thing unpredictable and chaotic, and brilliant. It bounces from lo-fi indie folk to emo to abstract electronica to dark ambient to ear-splitting punk rock. It's a great compilation of songs, and it's for a very worthy cause. Give it a blast and please consider donating.

A few personal highlights :

Ali Murray - Dear Evelyn - a stunning electro-acoustic dark atmospheric pop song by sinfully unrecognized Scottish songwriter Ali Murray. I'll be reviewing his new album when it comes out on 17/04/22, which is now available for pre-order.

Jonny Fallout - Dark Space - a breathtaking ethereal electronic pop song by Boston synthwave artist Jonny Fallout. Awesome stuff. Check out his Bandcamp page here.

Frick. - Bike - a cool fun simple lo-fi punk song by a band called .frick that would be right at home on any of the wonderful 90's Epitaph or Fat Wreck Chords compilations. I love it.
