“At this historical juncture every act of art is an act of resistance," Tom Morello says as he teams up with son Roman and Serj Tankian for new single Adjourn It.
Tom Morello and Serj Tankian have collaborated on a new single, Adjourn It, along with Tom’s 15-year-old son Roman.
Set to appear on Tom’s forthcoming new album, the song calls on those listening to resist the tide of fascism. Tom’s spent the last few months rallying against it himself, taking part in the Minneapolis protests against the ICE raids that claimed the lives of Alex Pretti and Renee Good and joining another demonstration in New York earlier this month.
“At this historical juncture every act of art is an act of resistance and Adjourn It, a collaboration with long time friend Serj Tankian and my 15 year old guitar wiz son Roman Morello, is a clarion call for justice in unjust times,” the Rage Against The Machine alumnus says.
“Produced by Zakk Cervini, this latest tune from my upcoming solo album combines multi-generational Morello bulldozer riffs with the great Serj Tankian’s prophetic wailings. Inspired by the persecution of immigrants across the land and the heroic resistance to the rising tide of fascism it’s just about damn time to rock for freedom, justice and equality.”
