Members of Social Distortion, Foo Fighters, Linda Lindas Team Up for “We Are LA!” Benefit Single

A bevy of Los Angeles artists have teamed up for the benefit single “We Are LA!,” marking one year since the start of the devastating L.A. wildfires.

The “Punk Rock to the Rescue Single” supports the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, which provides services and financial assistance for career musicians and music industry professionals. Grants are earmarked for medical and vital living expenses, including insurance premiums, prescriptions, medical treatment and operative procedures, housing costs, food costs, utilities, and other basic necessities.

The anthemic punk rock song features a massive list of collaborators, highlighted by Jonny Two Bags of Social Distortion, Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters, Eloise Wong of The Linda Lindas, Jim Lindberg of Pennywise, and Mike Watt of Minutemen. Most appear to be featured in the song’s accompanying video.
