Good covers, for a good cause.

Last year, Hopeless Records launched the ‘Songs That Saved My Life’ compilation – an album made up of cover songs by bands in our world that mean something to them.
But it’s not just a one-off album – Songs That Saved My Life is a brand centered around music that played a pivotal role in the lives of artists and fans that benefits mental health and suicide prevention charities. Everyone has music that helped them through a tough time. Songs That Saved My Life looks to engage current artists with cover versions of those songs and share those stories with the world. This project benefits a variety of mental health and suicide prevention organisations. Currently, this project benefits Crisis Text Line, Hope For The Day, The Trevor Project, and To Write Love On Her Arms.
