H20 and Hostage Calm have joined forces to play a rally in support of same-sex marriage in Hoboken, New Jersey on Feb. 25 at the Stevens Institute of Technology. The show is free, but donations will be collected.
The New Jersey legislature is currently considering a marriage equality bill.
Hostage Calm's vocalist, Cmar, offers the following statement about the rally:
Across this country, I've seen crowded rooms of anxious people ready to participate, ready to express themselves, ready to engage. It seems like all of us are always ready to be heard, but this world is so rarely prepared to hear us. Yet every once and a while, a clear opportunity arises. Marriage Equality is a defining social issue of our time, and it is being decided--for good--right now. We need to channel the enthusiasm and the commitment to justice that lies dormant in underground music and use it to bring real change to America.
