Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Gary Numan, Primal Scream, Devo and Jarvis Cocker have contributed previously unreleased tracks to a new benefit compilation called Los Angeles Rising, put together by Kevin Haskins of Bauhaus / Love And Rockets.

All proceeds from the compilation – available exclusively via Bandcamp – will go to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, providing services and financial assistance for career musicians and music industry professionals.

Another compilation called Good Music To Lift Los Angeles features 90 never-before-heard new songs, covers, remixes, live versions and unreleased demos from the likes of REM, Jeff Tweedy, Courtney Barnett and Animal Collective.
