MusiCares' COVID-19 Relief Fund was created by The Recording Academy® to help those within the music community who have been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.
"Doesn't matter what part of the political spectrum you are on, everyone at some point has said 'Fuck the USA'. The closest thing we have to a universal sentiment," says Spruance.
"This is a song that resonates and speaks to the country that Ipecac calls home," adds Ipecac Recordings Co-owner Greg Werckman, who will also be donating the label's proceeds from the single. "Over 100,000 US citizens are dead from the pandemic. At the same time protective masks have turned into a political football and no one has a grasp on testing. Racism continues to rear its ugly head. Police brutality spikes, unemployment spikes, depression spikes and 'our' ego driven elected officials don't seem to care. We need to do a better job of looking out for each other. MusiCares looks after all of us in the music community."
