Welcome to the hub of all the latest news and music from War Child! Our MySpace page will be packed with updates from the world of War Child as well as regular blogs, reviews and of course some amazing tracks. If you’re feeling slightly bemused at the moment then you’re probably new to the War Child world, let us explain....
War Child is a charity which works with children affected by war in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. You can read more about us and our work here. So why, I hear you cry, is a charity based on a music page? Well, given our history there seems no other logical place to be!
War Child and Music go way back! We have been heavily involved with the music industry for a number of years, from our release of the original Help! album in ’95 right up to our latest fundraising gigs and our much anticipated Heroes album.
Over the years, War Child has established itself as the charity socialite of the music world, with an army of artists and musicians who are willing to donate their time and talent to the cause. From the hottest new acts to some of the greatest legends in music history – we simply wouldn’t be able to produce our fantastic albums or gigs without them.
Our main site is where you can learn all about War Child and the work we do and our music section, offers a multitude of musical treats.
If you’re a new band, War Child can help! We’ve teamed up with indiestore.com to help new bands cut out the hassle of dealing with labels and chasing that elusive deal. Through War Child, unsigned bands can release their music independently, the DRM free chart-eligible releases allow you to hit the charts within a few mouse clicks. All you need to provide is a great tune. And to sweeten the deal you’ll be donating to War Child at the same time.
If you’re a music buff who doesn’t know their E string from their hamstring, don’t despair! Our online Download Store sells exclusive tracks from the likes of Radiohead, Keane, Fatboy Slim, Ash, Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party and many, many more. We have a massive selection of new releases and back catalogue of tunes, but unlike other download stores we're not lining our own pockets we're helping children in war zones around the world. Every track is just 99p, of which 70p helps the War Child charity.
Doing your bit has never been so much fun so check back regularly and get involved!
Big Love,
War Child x
