THE WILDHEARTS have issued the following update from message from frontman Ginger's manager, Gav, who's behind The Haiti Project - a download only charity compilation which launches today to raise money for the relief efforts following the earthquake in Haiti:

"Upon arriving back in the UK a few weeks ago at Heathrow (and being a little too wrapped up in seemingly important things like whether the plane would land in the snow or if my train would be running) I was immediately greeted and numbed by the horrific and shocking news reports that followed after the Haiti earthquake. As the magnitude of the disaster continues to grow by the day, I was very keen (like most people) to do 'something'.

Thus The Haiti Project - a charity download album - was born. Within a few days of sending emails and calls to my nearest and dearest friends an album quite literally 'came together'.

The album is spearheaded by the anthemic debut track from THE SONIC GRAFFITI, a new band from LA put together by Ginger, Billy Morrison, Michael Butler and Scott Lipps. The track, entitled 'Mystery Number', was recorded at Matt Sorum's studio in August 2009 and was produced by the legendary Mike Clink.

I'd like to personally say a big thank you to Ginger, Billy, Michael, Scott and Mike for donating this exclusive track, and allowing The Haiti Project to (hopefully) raise even more money.

I would love for everyone to spread word around the internet world via their Twitterings, Facebookings, Myspacings, bloggings and other 'ings'. Lets raise some money."
