In response to the relentless issue of gun violence in America, the East Nashville-based music collective, 3Sirens, has released a poignant compilation album entitled “Every Possible Way.” This album not only showcases a rich array of musical talent but also serves a critical cause—it aims to raise awareness and funds for gun violence prevention, supporting the Everytown For Gun Safety Support Fund.
Crafted under the creative guidance of producer Dan Molad, known for his work with Lucius and Coco, “Every Possible Way” brings together a diverse lineup of artists who reinterpret beloved 90s classics. The result is an evocative and emotionally charged collection that seeks to inspire change through the universal language of music.
The compilation breathes new life into nostalgic hits, starting with Joseph’s ethereal take on Jimmy Eat World’s “Table for Glasses.” Each track that follows continues to layer the album with both nostalgia and fresh perspective. White Denim injects a robust energy into Elastica’s “Connection,” while Coco offers a comforting, doo-wop-inspired rendition of Weezer’s “Holiday,” celebrating the 30th anniversary of their Blue Album.
Perhaps the most striking contributions come towards the end of the album. Liz Cooper’s version of The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” adds a breathy, indie folk-rock energy to the iconic track. Cooper’s transformative homage resonates deeply with the album’s mission, making a powerful closing statement.
The project was born out of the tragedy of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville, a stark reminder of the album’s urgency and relevance. It’s a clear stand against gun violence, channeling the collective power of music into a campaign for a safer future. The original artists behind these 90s hits, including bands like Yo La Tengo and The Magnetic Fields, have thrown their support behind this cause, adding to the album’s authenticity and appeal.
“Every Possible Way” is available on all streaming platforms, offering listeners a way to engage with the music while contributing to a vital cause. The album encourages participation through streaming, sharing, and direct donations, hoping to amplify the voices of communities affected by gun violence.
In an era where music often feels transient and fleeting, “Every Possible Way” manages to be both a tribute to a musical era and a call to action—a rare combination that both moves and motivates its audience. It’s a testament to the power of music to cross temporal and emotional boundaries, and to act as a catalyst for social change.
By supporting “Every Possible Way,” music lovers not only revisit the hits of the 90s but also stand in solidarity with those advocating for safer, violence-free communities. It’s an album that promises to leave a lasting impact, urging listeners to reflect on the pressing issue of gun violence and, more importantly, to act.
In conclusion, “Every Possible Way” is more than just a compilation—it’s a movement. With each track, 3Sirens and the participating artists extend an invitation to listeners: to experience the transformative power of music and to channel that energy into a fight for a better, safer world.
