A new comp, the Stay Home! Navajo Nation COVID-19 Benefit Compilation, has been released via Bandcamp, benefiting charities and services which support the Navajo and Hopi peoples.
Featuring acts such as Days N Daze, Ceschi, The Stupid Stupid Henchmen and more, each track is “an unreleased, live version, demo version, or alternate version of a song,” making this a unique comp by most measures.
Per the description on the Bandcamp page:
As many of you know the Navajo nation is getting hit hard with COVID 19 and the lack of medical resources and running water does not help. Frontline warriors/medical workers are in need of supplies and at risk families need food.
We decided to create a Benefit Compilation of Punk, Ska, Hip hop, metal, folk punk artists who frequently play the Navajo nation or have strong ties to the kids in the scene.
Each artist is donating an unreleased, live version, demo version, or alternate version of a song to help combat COVID-19. The release is digital and set for May 1st Friday on Bandcamp, Bandcamp is giving artist 100% of revenue.
The funds will be donated to “Navajo & Hopi Families COVID-19 Relief”, “Northern Dine COVID-19 Relief Effort”, and local relief efforts.
