On the 24th June this year, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. An earth shattering decision that sent shockwaves around the world, big names from all industries vocalised their disgust as access to safe abortions was stripped from US citizens in many states, and many other countries began to feel their rights become under risk.
Coming together to raise money for the cause, Good Music in collaboration with Noise For Now have announced a huge star-packed compilation album with all proceeds going towards charities. Good Music To Ensure Safe Abortion Access To All will only be available for 24 hours on the 7th October, but it’s an album you won’t want to miss out - combining an important cause with an incredible line up.
Featuring Tegan and Sara, Fleet Foxes, Cat Power, David Byrne, Mac DeMarco, Maya Hawke, Sleater Kinney and Wet Leg to pick out a small portion of the huge names involved - it features never-before-heard new songs, covers, remixes, live versions, and unreleased demos. The cover art was also created by the one and only Kim Gordon.
Seeing a coming together of icons and some of our favourite ones-to-watch like Emma Bradley and Annie DiRusso, it’s so inspiring watching music act like this. Donating net proceeds to support independent abortion clinics as well as Brigid Alliance that provide food, travel and lodgings for people seeking abortions, we can’t think of a more worthy way to spend your money on music.
Summarised perfectly by Tegan and Sara; “Every person faced with the choice to keep a pregnancy or not should have access to a safe and legal abortion should they choose one - their body, their choice.”
Good Music To Ensure Safe Abortion Access To All will be available for 24 hours on Bandcamp
