ONESIDEZERO will headline the "Amplify Your Voice Against Genocide"
benefit concert June 9, 2007 at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles
with support from RED SNOW, SLOW MOTION REIGN and VOKEE (featuring
former members of THE APEX THEORY). All proceeds from the show will
go to the Save Darfur Coalition ().
"Just like our Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, the Native Americans
discovered and conquered, Rwanda, and now a current genocide in
Darfur, Sudan. We gather together to amplify our voices against
genocide," says ONESIDEZERO guitarist Levon Sultanian. "I am the
offspring of martyrs of a genocide perpetrated 92 years ago. I bear
testimony to the atrocities imposed upon my people. I can empathize
with others in the same position. That is why I participate in the
Darfur demonstrations, and I do so through my music."
ONESIDEZERO is gearing up for the release of their Ulrich
Wild-produced (STATIC-X, STABBING WESTWARD, TAPROOT) sophomore album,
which is due on June 5, 2007 via Corporate Punishment.
"The last 5 to 6 years have been some of the most insane and most
amazing times of my life," says Sultanian. "ONESIDEZERO as a band
have grown so much together in this time. We went through the ups and
downs of life and after some new demos under our belts started the
rebuilding process of ONESIDEZERO. It was really exciting to bring in
all these news songs into th e recording studio after working on them
at home and at rehearsal for over a year. Hope everyone digs them as
much as we do!"
ONESIDEZERO released its Maverick Records debut, "Is This Room
Getting Smaller?", in 2001, which produced Active Rock singles
"Instead Laugh" and "New World Order". Subsequent U.S. tours with
INCUBUS, 311, SOULFLY, SOIL and STATIC-X made them an instant fan
favorite.
