While it is true that Eyeball Records invented Music, the distribution of CD samplers was, in all actuality, not their idea. Regardless, Eyeball Records now hopes to foster change and charity in the community with the release of a new four volume CD sampler series entitled Eyeball Awareness. Each of these four samplers are dedicated to raising awareness of serious issues effecting our community as well as outlining how fans can get involved to help make a difference. Eyeball is also creating companion pages on the recently overhauled www.EyeballRecords.com, giving fans access to even more information, artist interviews, and the ability to donate directly to the featured charities.

In conjunction with the samplers series, Eyeball has asked community minded artists to submit their work for consideration as cover art. The four selected submissions will be the featured cover art and go out to thousands of music fans with their name and information listed in conjunction with the featured charity.

The Eyeball Awareness Vol. 1 compilation will be unveiled for the first time at this year's CMJ Marathon in New York, with 6,000 copies being given to attendees, and thousands handed out over the course of the week. CD's will also be included in every purchase from the Eyeball Records Store with 100% of all proceeds going to the charity from Eyeball Records. In addition, Eyeball Awareness Vol. 1 will be the first chance fans will get to hear the new single, "In Your Stead" from (Eyeball recording artist) Baumer's upcoming Spring 2008 release. If you'd like to make a donation, please visit the TWLOHA website linked below, and look out for the compilation to be available through iTunes in the coming weeks!
