Rolling Stone featured Matt Pless’ track “Something’s Gotta Give” and said of the record “This 99-track Occupy benefit shows how far beyond Sixties folk lefty rabble-rousing has come, with hip-hop, electronica and indie rock sitting alongside Pete Seeger and Joan Baez…a one-two punch designed to strike at the rotten heart of capitalism.”

The performers join a stunning 99 artists who donated new, unreleased and re-mastered tracks including artists such as Yoko Ono, Debbie Harry, Warren Haynes, Mogwai and Tom Morello. Released by Music For Occupy through Razor & Tie distribution, the four-disc physical and 99-track digital compilation was released on May 15^th. Proceeds received will go directly to the Occupy Wall Street movement, which began in the financial district of New York on Sept. 17, 2011.
