Editors, Prodigy appear on covers album

Editors, The Prodigy and Feeder are among several acts on a new covers album celebrating independent music, NME reports.

The two-disc set, which will only be available from July 4 to July 7, also contains tracks from The Cribs (performing 'Bastards Of Young' by The Replacements), Maximo Park (Go Betweens' 'Was There Anything I Could Do?') and The Futureheads (Robyn's 'With Every Heartbeat').

Tom Smith from Editors will contribute his take on Prefab Sprout's 'Bonny', Feeder's track is PIL's 'Public Image' and The Prodigy will perform 'Ghost Town', originally by The Specials.

The new yearly Independents Day initiative was devised by UK organisation AIM (Association of Independent Music) to highlight the contributions of indie acts to the music industry's success.

Money raised from the album sales will go towards the independent music community and charities of their choice.
