The compilation includes eight bands based in Ukraine that Chakars was able to contact in the days following the Russian invasion on Feb. 24. The riot-grrl band Death Pill’s singer Marianna emailed him a song just before fleeing Kyiv. “I can’t work anywhere,” she wrote. “I’m a music teacher. We’re just waiting for the end of war.” Ukrainian folk singer Sasha Boole, who ends the album with a lovely fingerpicked lullaby whose title translates as “Ivy,” told Shakars that he had put his guitar down to join the army.
“That was designed to raise money for Black Lives Matter-related causes,” he says. “So when this war broke out, we knew how to do it. The concept is little different this time. It’s not just Philly bands. And I’m worried to death that somebody on this comp is going to die before this whole thing is over.”is Leo, the politically minded singer-guitarist who grew up in Plainfield, N.J., and who led the band Ted Leo & the Pharmacists for 20 years and has teamed with Aimee Mann in The Both.
