Earlier this month, Eagles of Death Metal asked musicians to cover their Zipper Down song "I Love You All the Time" as part of the Sweet Stuff Foundation's "Play It Forward" campaign, which is aiding victims of the November 13 terrorist attack in Paris. A few covers have trickled out here and there, but today, the band released a first wave of renditions through their website. Florence and the Machine, Savages, My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon, and Jimmy Eat World are some of the artists who've contributed covers. Find the first wave of contributors here, and stream some of the covers below.
Josh Homme released a statement about the covers:
I made a plea to artists and business people alike to come together to use our solidarity as proof that we are stronger together, and that we can make a difference. We are proud to be a little part of such a big group of talent and good will. We can’t thank these artists enough for their donations of talent, love, time, and compassion. Now, the Play It Forward Campaign is in the hands of the fans to help us make a difference, and to help those affected by this tragedy. Please listen, purchase, play, and enjoy – and know that every time you do, you’re doing the sweet stuff that makes that difference.
All royalties from the performances will be donated to charity.
Additionally, Pearl Jam will donate a live cover of EODM's "I Want You So Hard" to the campaign. That will be out today, as well as Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron's cover of "I Love You All The Time".
