Fractions Of One launch compilation LP in aid of Pakistan flood victims - feat. Three Trapped Tigers, Internet Forever, Sheild Your Eyes
By: Samuel Smith
You will by now have heard about the devastating floods in Pakistan, a situation that has escalated to a human catastrophe as millions of children and entire families have been pushed out of their homes.
Though thousands have already died in the initial impact, many, many more will be put at life-threatening risk by their forced migration. As continued rain worsens the floods, millions are being left without food or clean water. Already the flooding has affected more people than the Haiti earthquake and the 2005 Boxing Day Tsunami combined.
In an age such as this, the bombardment of information is often so unbearably intense that you find yourself numbed into inertia, unsure of how best to help, if you can help at all. That’s why the people at Fractions Of One have put together a charity compilation to raise money for the people of Pakistan. There are some awesome bands involved and EVERY SINGLE PENNY will give aid to one of the biggest humanitarian disasters of recent memory. To help, just download it for £5 from the Fractions Of One website.
Here’s some more information direct from the guys:
THREE TRAPPED TIGERS – TUBELORD – INTERNET FOREVER – ADEBISI SHANK – WORRIEDABOUTSATAN – SHOES AND SOCKS OFF - SHIELD YOUR EYES
The recent flooding in Pakistan has now become the worst humanitarian disaster facing the world today. Some 20 million people have been affected, and 6 million are in need of urgent assistance.
Fractions Of One, a new music site, has teamed up with some of their favourite bands and artists to release Get Set, Go. – a compilation of British bands playing for Pakistan.
Get Set, Go. contains tracks from Tubelord, Three Trapped Tigers, Internet Forever, Adebisi Shank, worriedaboutsatan, Shoes And Socks Off, Shield Your Eyes, Thom Stone and many more. Many of the tracks are unreleased or rare.
The compilation is just £5, and is available from http://fractionsofone.com/pakistan Every single penny raised will go to the Disaster Emergencies Committee appeal for Pakistan.
Aid agencies are currently unable to perform vital work in Pakistan because they are short of cash – so every single purchase will make a difference.
