Help: A Day In The Life - A New Warchild Comp.

By liz

Ten years after the initial CD release from War Child, Britian's new elite musicians are headed back into the studio to make a new record. Help: A Day In The Life commemorates the anniversary of the project that set the bar for how charity records could help. On September 9, 1995 War Child Music put a fantastic effort into the world to benefit children caught up in a war torn Yugoslavia. Their record featured bands like Oasis, Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers, Blur, The Charlatans, The Boo Radleys, Massive Attack, Portishead, Suede, The Chemical Brothers and more. As War Child did 10 years ago, the entire new record will be recorded and mixed in one day... and released again on September 9. So who will be featured on this new disc? The lineup isn't complete yet but so far War Child has thrown us a few bones with Radiohead, Gorillaz, Razorlight, Bloc Party, Hard-Fi, The Coral, Elbow, Maximo Park, The Zutons, Manic Street Preachers, Maximo Park, Mylo and The Magic Numbers. While the original disc benefited kids in Yugoslavia, the new CD will be expanding their goals to reach out to children in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
