The Rapture, Dinosaur Jr also support independent radio

Klaxons, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr. and The Rapture are among the bands featured on a new compilation benefiting independent radio in the US.

The CD, which is due out in the US on October 10, also includes tracks from Annuals, Rogue Wave, Dntel, The Long Winters, The Ponys and Voxtrot.
