S+F, Motherjane+ On Global PEACE Comp

Shaa’ir + Func, menwhopause (pictured) and Motherjane will represent India on a new compilation called PEACE that features artists from over 50 countries. The compilation will be released digitally in January 2010 with a pay-what-you-want system (minimum two Euros), and all the proceeds will go to Amnesty International’s humanitarian aid projects in areas of conflict. Over 100 artists are participating in this effort from regions as diverse as Palestine, Algeria, Burundi and Iceland.

What’s cool about this compilation is that it’s not one of those no-cred comps that features absolutely unknowns. The artist list (see below) included decent rep bands including Patrick Wolf, The Boy Least Likely To, Voxtrot, Asobi Seksu and Ra Ra Riot.

As a taster, here’s four free downloads from bands that will be on this comp, including Indiecision’s latest Check Out band Boat Beam.
