Army of Me are one of those bands that grab your attention immediately, seemingly out of nowhere. You may not know their name, but their music will seem at once familiar and extraordinarily new. With tracks on video games and an acoustic version of 'Perfect' on the 2008 Olympic soundtrack, Army of Me are perhaps rock's biggest breath of fresh air in years. Vince Scheuerman, the band's singer, recently talked to Equalize about his teenage years, how music got him through them, and what he thinks it takes to change the world. EQ: Tell us a little bit about you: Who ...
In part four of Lobbying for Beginners, we will go over some of the steps to building a successful campaign to support your lobbying efforts. Check out the index for a refresher on previous Lobbying for Beginners tutorials. Every lobbying effort is different, but here are some basic steps you can follow to get a campaign to support your lobbying started, get heard, and follow your issue through the process. 1.) Before you start, build your team (wisely). Who can you trust to work on your campaign? Who do you work well with? Who is smart enough and hard-working enough to help you ...
by Mark November 4th, 2008 may have been a sobering, stressful, and disappointing day for many people (Obama's win aside, of course), but with that day brought a newfound and much-needed interest in the civil rights of gays across the world. And that's no exaggeration; the next couple of months marked a flurry of activity in the activism world, as people who'd never protested a single cause in their life suddenly took to the streets to voice their opposition to the disturbing election results here in the US. For someone like myself, who has been protesting for years, it was a refreshing ...

Seattle natives Aiden might look like some spooky guys, but they’re a lot nicer than they let on. They hung out with us a couple days on Warped, and we discovered there’s more to frontman William Control than just nightmares and hellfire. However, there is hell to pay if you cross him, as the guys from Bad Religion found out the hard way.
Meet Alana Grace, one of our favorite picks from Warped ‘09. This Nashville-bred girl’s got a set of pipes, and she sure knows how to use them! She’s been singing since she was a little girl, and it shows. We recommend listening to Black Roses Red, and we’re sure you won’t be disappointed. Check out the interview we did with Alana to find out about tour pranks, what it’s like “behind the scenes,” and more!
Blink-182. They’ve been a staple of my pop-punk repertoire since I was a wee little thing. I wouldn’t say their breakup was particularly devastating to me, because quite frankly, I can’t stand the s/t album, but upon hearing of their reunion, I was overjoyed! I just knew this would be *the* concert of the summer, and I was 100% right!
The other day, I was flipping radio stations and a song caught my attention. It sounded like Rancid, almost, but with a Brit girl singer. It turns out the band was TAT, and they’re playing every date of the Warped Tour this summer. Equalize got to have a short chat with Tatiana, the lead singer and guitar player of the band. She’s a tough girl with a quick wit who’s ready to kick ass and take names. She also likes to talk about pooping, which makes her a-ok in my book.

[ August 23, 2009; ] This is the last stop on the Vans Warped Tour this year. LA, you better make it a day we’ll never forget!
[ August 22, 2009; ] I’ve heard stories about how crazy the kids are in SoCal, but all you Equalizers in San Diego better show me firsthand!
[ August 16, 2009; ] Heck yeah, Stumptown represent! Come out to Hillsboro and kick it with us!
[ August 15, 2009; ] So, it’s not quite in Seattle (try about 4 hours away), but the Gorge in George, WA is a beautiful, scenic place to experience the Warped Tour.
We’re thisclose to better protection for minorities who have been victims of hate crimes. The Matthew Shepard Act (officially, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act), a piece of legislation that would lend federal support to prosecution of crimes committed against individuals because of their minority status, has cleared the House and the Senate, as of July 23, 2009. The next step is for the bill to reconciled in a conference committee, then it’s off to the desk of President Barack Obama, who is expected to sign off due to a 2007 statement of support.
