Ed Taylor, who runs Loose Grip Records, has overseen a new benefit compilation to raise funds in the wake of the Ghost Ship Fire of December 2016. Raising funds for The Oakland Family Fund, the goal is to provide artist space improvements such as upgrading smoke alarms, fire estinguishers, sprinkler systems, and more.
The compilation features a diverse cast, including King Khan, Damaged Bug, Tony Molina (Dystrophy), Justin Pearson and Gabe Serbian of The Locust with Nick Zinner of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs (collaborating as Planet B), and more.
