Pearl Jam contribute new song to Voting Rights compilation album

After the success of the first album, Good Music to Avert the Collapse of American Democracy is back with a second volume that boasts 77 (!!!) previously unreleased tracks by some of the biggest names in alt-rock, including a new song from Pearl Jam called "Get It Back."

Like its predecessor, this compilation will only be available for one day (October 2), and all net proceeds will benefit Voting Rights Lab, "a nonpartisan organization that brings state advocacy, policy, and legislative expertise to the fight for voting rights." The project was spearheaded by author Dave Eggers, artist managers Jordan Kurland and Darius Zelkha (Brilliant Corners Artist Management), Christian Stavros (Little Operation Management), and Barsuk Records label head Josh Rosenfeld.

“When over $250,000 was raised for the first compilation -- in one day -- we were floored and it spurred us to do another," Eggers said in a statement. "We thought we’d get twenty musicians, tops, for this second one, but in about ten days, 77 bands and singers came through. It was a flood. Every day, the urgency of this election becomes clearer, so we’re trying to send as much money into voter access as we can. The compilation is a bit of concentrated hope.”

“We could have included 200 artists, that’s how united the music community is around the fight for voting rights," Kurland added. "We are so inspired to have this incredible collection of artists in an effort to raise money in support of the important work that Voting Rights Lab is doing.”
