‘Los Angeles Rising’ Benefit Album Released to Support Wildfire-Affected Musicians

The compilation, featuring unreleased tracks by Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, and others, raises funds for Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

Los Angeles Rising is a 16-track benefit album created by Kevin Haskins and Nick Launay to aid musicians impacted by the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires.
The album includes unreleased songs from artists such as Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jarvis Cocker, Primal Scream, and Devo.
Proceeds from the album, available exclusively on Bandcamp for a minimum $10 donation, will support the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides financial aid to music industry workers.
The wildfires resulted in significant destruction, leaving 28 people dead, over 12,000 structures destroyed, and forcing the evacuation of more than 150,000 residents.
The music industry has rallied around wildfire relief efforts, with other benefit projects like Good Music to Lift Up Los Angeles and Grammy-related fundraising initiatives also contributing.
