Alternative Press teamed up with Taking Back Sunday’s John Nolan for exclusive vinyl of Music For Everyone Volume 2: A Compilation In Support of the ACLU, limited to 100 copies. Head to the AP Shop to grab yours.
The second volume of John Nolan’s compilation, Music For Everyone, has been announced, and proceeds will go toward the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The theme is “Fighting Hate with Positivity” and includes original music and reimagined versions of songs from L.S. Dunes, Taking Back Sunday, Common Sage, Kayleigh Goldsworthy (who recently played violin on MCR’s Long Live The Black Parade tour), and more.
“We put together the first Music For Everyone compilation back in 2016,” Nolan says. “We decided to do it in support of the ACLU because they were actively fighting hundreds of legal battles to protect immigrant rights, reproductive freedom, and to stop discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community. We decided it’s time for Volume 2 because they’re continuing those fights today and deserve our support now more than ever. In the words of the ACLU, ‘We’re in courts and communities across the country to protect everyone’s rights — and we need you with us.’

“While this administration continues to attack civil rights, voting rights, the rights of women, immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community, it gives me hope to know the ACLU is fighting back,” he continues. “It also gives me hope to see so many people putting their time and energy into making this compilation and supporting this cause.”
The first Music For Everyone compilation was released in 2016 and featured Chris Farren, Anthony Green, Frank Iero, and more. Stream the first three songs from Music For Everyone Volume 2: A Compilation In Support of the ACLU now.
