The benefit compilation Contra-ICE Vol. 1: ICE OUT continues to garner widespread acclaim and attention from across the independent music landscape.
Organized by the Build Art Make Change collective, the project features exclusive contributions from cultural trailblazers including Kathleen Hanna, Ad-Rock (Beastie Boys), Tom Morello, Fred Armisen, Fishbone, and dozens of rising indie acts.
