“Limited Pressing is very proud to be a part of the VS The Earthquake Japan Relief Comp. Music has always been there to help people through difficult times. Please don’t make this an exception. You can show your support by donating what you can to help Japan through this terrible tragedy.” -Nick and Tom from LP
“I’ve decided to donate my song Giants Sleeping, a song about my home in Pennsylvania, to benefit the Japanese relief effort. As a Japanese American, I’m very moved to see people come together to aid our brothers and sisters overseas and I can only hope that the global response to this event will help restore a sense of home to the communities facing this devastation.” - Andrew of KOJI
“After hearing about the tragedies in Japan we knew we had to do something. One thing all of us in bands can do is provide music, raise awareness and money for the relief efforts. We submitted our acoustic version of the song “By A Thread” because it is about overcoming odds and having faith in humanity. It was the b-side from the Japan release of our album My Everest so we figured it was perfect for this cause. Please donate to this comp or to Red Cross directly. Anything helps and no one should ever have to feel the way they do right now. Thank you.” -Jono of The Swellers
“I’m certain there’s nothing we can say that speaks to the need for aid and assistance any better than the footage of the event itself and we’ve all seen it. The catastrophe itself speaks better to the need for help than anything else. In that way, you and everyone involved knows already that compassion is needed now, and downloading music is just a medium to do so, not a reason to be convinced. But it seems especially fitting to do so here, in this medium, because it brings us together around a thing founded on the same sense of community that is so desperately needed in Japan right now—the kind of community that loves and cares indiscriminately, and that comes together in a time of need to help where help is needed. We know where it’s needed now, and we know how to help. Do your part to support the community in Japan, either here or elsewhere.”- Jordan of La Dispute
There is a $5 minimum donation for the compilation, please help out those in Japan.
