Eyeball Records has announced plans to release a compilation benefiting
To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit movement set to help young people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. The benefit, titled
Eyeball Awareness Vol. 1, will hit stores on October 16th. It is the first of four planned releases in the series, which will be augmented with companion pieces running on
EyeballRecords.com. Artwork for the series is being solicited from "community minded artists." Eyeball GM Marc Debiak commented in the press release:
The idea of our sampler series is to raise awareness for a different cause every season. It seemed appropriate that for the fall edition of the sampler, we should look first at the people around us and take an interest in their well being. To Write Love On Her Arms delivers a beautiful and selfless message of caring for the people within your reach and we're thrilled to provide this sampler as another vehicle for the delivery of that message.
The compilation will be debuted at this year's CMJ Marathon where 6,000 copies will be distributed to attendees. CDs will also be included with every purchase from the label's store with a portion of all proceeds going to the charity. The release feature the Number 12 Looks Like You, Sleep Station, Pompeii, Kiss Kiss, Jetti, New Atlantic and the new single "In Your Stead" from Eyeball's Baumer.
