The track features Serj Tankian and Roman Morello. All three have thoughts on the tune:
Tom Morello on “Adjourn It”:
At this historical juncture every act of art is an act of resistance and “Adjourn It”, a collaboration with long time friend Serj Tankian and my 15 year old guitar wiz son Roman Morello, is a clarion call for justice in unjust times. Produced by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Yungblud, Aerosmith) this latest tune from my upcoming solo album combines multi-generational Morello bulldozer riffs with the great Serj Tankian’s prophetic wailings. Inspired by the persecution of immigrants across the land and the heroic resistance to the rising tide of fascism it’s just about damn time to rock for freedom, justice and equality.
Serj Tankian on “Adjourn It”
“Adjourn It” is a protest anthem against the continued barbarism leveled by ICE in the U.S., separating families, racial profiling, and in some cases killing. As a democracy we should be offended that our own government has done this to our brothers and sisters trying to provide a decent lifestyle for their families. There is smart immigration and naturalization policy then there is this. Most of these cases would be adjourned by judges if given due legal process. Adjourn it!Roman Morello on “Adjourn it”
"I like to write riffs when I’m practicing by myself and sometimes my dad will listen at the door and poach the good ones. Then when he’s writing a song his motto is, “May the best riff win”, and sometimes he’ll use one of his riffs and sometimes he’ll use one of mine. The main riff in “Adjourn It” is one of mine that we both agreed was the best riff."
