When the band Hounds & Harlots was conceived to be the “voice” for our new society, we created what would become our symbol; The Knife, The Key and The Ouroboros, which represent what we stand for; Justice, Freedom, Self-reflexivity & Unity. We firmly believe in applying these values to everything we do.
We asked ourselves how could we help others with our music?
Then it came to us, a charity 7”! So we got on the phone, and asked three of our friends if they would like to be a part of this project, a chance to help out some of their own favorite charities. Within days this simple dream was born. Hounds & Harlots in collaboration with GC Records (www.gcrecords.com), Asian Man Records (www.asianmanrecords.com) and Paper + Plastick Records (www.paperandplastick.com), came up with a plan to donate three Hounds & Harlots songs with a special “Thank You” track to make a 7” titled DEVOTED that will help out FOUR DIFFERENT CHARITIES.
This is how it will work.
We only have 60 days (Oct 31st) to reach our monetary goal to get the record made. Once we achieve that we are going to divide 1000 7” records into four different color (250 each) groups, each color is charity specific. When a color is sold the profits will go to that specific charity.
- Hounds & Harlots charity is Axis Of Justice, www.axisofjustice.net (color WHITE)
- GC Records charity is Skateistan, www.skateistan.org (color ORANGE)
- Asian Man Records charity is Plea For Peace, www.pleaforpeace.com (color PURPLE)
- Paper + Plastick Records charity will be the band PROTAGONIST, www.paperandplastick.com/news.php?article_id=225 (color ROOT BEER).
Now you may ask “how can I be a part of this?”
Well the only way this is going to work is with the help of everyone! We set up a page on Kickstarter.com to raise money to make this all happen. By pledging, you’re not just giving up money to have a record made, we have set up different pledge tiers as an incentive. Depending on how much you would like to pledge, you can do everything from pre-order a record to having your very own name and charity included in the art or even mentioned on the side B “Thank You” track!
We all know music can change lives, and this is your chance to really put that into action!
