In an era where reproductive rights remain a battleground, the power of music takes center stage with the upcoming release of NOISE FOR NOW VOL. 2. This limited edition compilation, set to launch on June 21, 2024, features an eclectic array of exclusive tracks from renowned artists like Faye Webster, Courtney Barnett, and The War On Drugs, all rallying behind the cause of abortion access and reproductive rights.
Spearheaded by the non-profit organization NOISE FOR NOW, this compilation album serves as a beacon of support for independent reproductive health providers across the nation, with proceeds benefiting Keep Our Clinics. Against the backdrop of a Supreme Court case challenging the accessibility of mifepristone, a safe and effective pill used by abortion care providers, NOISE FOR NOW VOL. 2 emerges as a timely and poignant response to the ongoing abortion crisis.
With 11 exclusive tracks, the album encapsulates a fusion of genres and voices, united by a shared commitment to advocating for reproductive justice. From soul-stirring melodies to electrifying beats, each track amplifies the urgency of the cause while celebrating the resilience of those at the forefront of the fight. The full track list was recently revealed, making this compilation a must-listen.

We are so grateful to work with these incredible artists to raise money and awareness for independent abortion clinics throughout the U.S. We know that when the artists and performers we love speak openly and unapologetically about abortion, abortion is stripped of its stigma. We believe that we can shape our future with art, community, and collective action.
