Here's a guy who puts his money where his mouth is. We're going to write more on Adam Freeland and his Marine Parade empire very soon, including the forthcoming Evil 9 album and Adam's own eagerly anticipated new LP. But then we saw this video and knew we had to get this track out. Amnesty commissioned Mr. Freeland for their powerful tailor-made for the movies campaign. Currently being run as a preview in UK movie theaters, it's unlikely you'll see it in a US theater. In a world where music is being used more and more to market products - it looks like using music to market a message is catching on.

Adam recently played Coachella in a cape so its only fitting his latest endeavor is so heroic. Here's an exclusive download of the track he wrote for the campaign courtesy of Mr. Freeland.

War blows, and this war story is an eye-opener. From Friday, May 23rd Laemmle Theaters in LA are screening "Heavy Metal in Baghdad".  This unique film chronicles the tale of a rock band called Acrassicauda (Latin for "black scorpion") who are notable because they're Iraq’s only heavy metal band and have escaped to Turkey so they can continue to follow their dream of making music. Don't miss this film.

If you recognize one of the directors, Suroosh Alvi, it's because he did an amazing job on his short film called "Down At The Gun Bazaar" shot (no pun intended) in Pakistan. That scary film was one of the amusing films from "The Vice Guide to Travel". Stay tuned here for a profile on Vice Films.
