NEW YORK (www.MorissonPoe.org/ www.EthologyRecords.com) - Revolutionary alternative rock band MorissonPoe, an Indie music scene favorite, have joined the ranks of Counting Crows, Maroon 5, Foo Fighters,
Beastie Boys and many others as a Partner in the Rock The Vote campaign, urging young Americans to register to vote.
'It's being said over and over again. This is the most important election of our lifetime, and we're just happy to play our part', says lead singer Jean Morisson about joining the movement to encourage young voters to the polls in November. 'Rock the vote has enabled us not only spread the word, but also have people register to vote directly on our website as well as our shows', follows MopoMikey, guitarist for the four-piece band. Nyk, the bands drummer, adds, 'It's a shame that the crisis we're in is pulling more voters than any election I can remember, but maybe this will wake us up a bit and have us vote in every election, as opposed to just the ones we pick and choose.'
To this pioneering independent rock band, whose music focuses on social, cultural and deeply personal issues, voting is more than just important. It is American.
