Thou, Emma Ruth Rundle, Immortal Bird on Riffs for Reproductive Justice benefit compilation

A new abortion rights benefit compilation curated by music journalist and Black Flags Over Brooklyn curator Kim Kelly has just been released. It’s titled Riffs for Reproductive Justice, and it features Thou, Emma Ruth Rundle, Fucked and Bound, Ails, False, Immortal Bird (whose latest is our Album of the Week), Hether Fortune, Elizabeth Colour Wheel and more. Take a look at the tracklist below.

The compilation’s proceeds benefit the National Network of Abortion Funds and the Yellowhammer Fund. “This compilation is just one small effort made by a few dozen people who care, who are intimately affected by this, and who love other people who are afraid of what the future will bring,” reads a statement. “There are so many other brave individuals and groups who have been putting in work around this issue for decades, and my hope here is to raise a significant amount of funds from within the metal, punk, and overall music fan communities to allow them to continue that necessary work.”
