 SYDNEY, AU. (EMI MUSIC AUSTRALIA) GORILLAZ will contribute to a new album being put together in aid of WAR CHILD. 'Help: A Day in the Life' will mark the 10th anniversary of the 'Help' album in 1995. The project aims to compile the best bands of this generation and give them one day to record a new piece of music, which War Child will make available on September 9. A CD release will follow a few weeks later. Other bands already confirmed include Radiohead, Razorlight, The Zutons, Manic Street Preachers, Bloc Party, Hard-Fi, The Coral, Elbow and Maximo Park. War Child was launched in 1993 as a response to the affect of the Balkans conflict on children. In 1995, 20 of the UK's bands and artists went into studios across Europe to each produce a track for 'Help', the fastest-ever number one album in British music history.
