Charity Song of the Month:

PETR CECH & ROGER TAYLOR, "That's Football," 2019

"Yeah fooball...victory, happiness, glory, fame." The unlikely combination of professional soccer player Petr Cech and Queen drummer Roger Taylor have come together for "That's Football," a song about the sport that will see all its proceeds donated to the the Willow Foundation. Cech, an elite goalkeeper for Arsenal in the English Premier League, announced he was retiring at the end of this season and this song is his farewell tribute. He asked Taylor to help him fulfill this vision. The Willow Foundation, which was founded by former Arsenal goalkeeper and TV presenter Bob Wilson, provides "special days" to seriously ill young adults living with life-threatening conditions aged 16 to 40.

Cause Song of the Month:

D.O.A., "Time To Fight Back," 2018

Vancouver, B.C. hardcore punk band D.O.A. have been combating injustice for four decades and their recent video for "Time To Fight Back," from the 2018 album Fight Back, makes it clear they don't intend to stop now. The video salutes activists and change-makers like Bernie Sanders, gun control activist Emma González and the late Nelson Mandela while reinforcing the message to "fight back" against despotism in all forms. Lead singer/local politician Joey Keithley has long been a passionate supporter of progressive and environmental causes and with this song — and the band's long-time rallying cry "TALK - ACTION = 0" — D.O.A. continue to fight back for a better world.
