The Graffiti of War is presenting a breathtaking exhibition of captivating artwork created by our Veterans during the War on Terror.
This tour will feature the artwork we captured through our expedition overseas which we are presenting on unconventional mediums (Graffiti Canvas) and in astonishing sizes. Many of these murals were created in excess of 40 feet by 20 feet. A truly extraordinary event providing a unique perspective on conflicts which have affected the entire world since September 11th, 2001.
Since its beginning in 2010, the Graffiti of War Project has been working tirelessly documenting rarely seen art created by veterans, local nationals, and even civilians specifically originating in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Through our outreach efforts, thousands of images have poured in from all corners of the world submitted via our website and social-media pages. As the interest exploded, project founder, Jaeson Doc Parsons, a former combat medic, traveled to Iraq and Kuwait to document as much as possible before they were destroyed following the withdrawal of Coalition Forces.
The ultimate aim for this project is to raise awareness for those men and women, soldier and civilian that suffer the silent wounds of war, PTSD & TBI. Our goal is to promote and advance alternative therapies for these unseen wounds such as arts therapy. We believe this book and the tour will be a bridge over the ever-widening gap between military members and civilians providing healing for both the artist and the spectator. Proceeds from every book and piece of art sold will go directly to partnering organizations to help them fund alternative therapies for PTSD. **All purchases and donations are 100% tax deductible as The Graffiti of War Foundation is a non-profit based in Charlotte, NC**
Shallow Side have announced initial tour dates in support of their upcoming release Saints & Sinners
Shallow Side Have Announced Tour Dates in Support Of Their Upcoming Release Saints & Sinners
Saints & Sinners originally was to be released worldwide on Friday, March 29th but was pulled down last minute as Eric Boatright vocalist explains "Wow, what a Rollercoaster this been to release our first full length album. While working to setup the “perfect” release with our team, we were approached by several major labels interested in putting the album out. We had to take a step back and consider the options so we, along with Thermal Entertainment decided to pull the album down. After weeks of talks and negotiations, we ultimately decided to stay the course with Thermal and release the album this summer. It is a complete honor that these other labels are interested in the band and we will never close the door to opportunity but we owe our fans an amazing album so they will get one.”
The new date for the digital release is Friday, July 26th. The physical album will continue to be available at shows, the band's website and several online outlets (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target).
The first single "SOUND THE ALARM is available for stream or download. Eric Boatright recently blogged about the story behind the first single which can be read here: Near Death Experience and Epiphany. The song recently went to radio and a video will debut soon.
