U.K.-based Occupation Records, born out of Occupy London, will release its debut compilation on June 4, and a small sampler of songs is available now to whet your appetite.

The album, titled "Folk the Banks," will feature 18 tracks by artists including Tom Morello, Martha Wainright and Ani DiFranco.

All profits will be donated to the Occupy Movement. In addition to some great tunes, the compilation also features stunning artwork by Jamie Reid, who is best known for the iconic artwork of the Sex Pistols’ "God Save the Queen" single.
