The Indie Music Cancer Drive has announced March 1st, 2010 as the release date for Songs for the Cure ’10. A new website has been launched for the campaign at www.cancerdrive.org, where you can already pre-order the CD.

With the drive’s past success (it has raised over $6000 since it began in 2008) organizer Josh Whelchel has gotten even more ambitious this year, setting a $10000 goal, of which all proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society! While this seems quite high, a glance at the CD itself shows that Whelchel is dead serious. This year’s album features over THIRTY talented indie artists, all who have contributed music exclusive to the CD, and includes a wide range of music ranging from “…Pop, Jazz, Instrumental, Orchestral, Fusion, Alternative, Rock, Chiptunes, Musique Concrète, and even video-game-arrangements.”

Some names you might recognize that will be appearing on the album:

• Alec Holowka (Infinite Ammo / Aquaria)
• Inverse Phase (organizer of MAGFest)
• David Saulesco (Eternal Daughter)
• Craig Stern (Sinister Design)
• Rob Westwood (Magi)
• Jay Tholen
• J.W. Hendricks
