Following up from last year’s album, this twenty track compliation features The Xcerts, Night Owls, Tellison, Lonely The Brave and Allusondrugs.

It continues to shock me that suicide is the single  biggest cause of death in men aged 20 – 45 in England and Wales. The aim of the compilation is not just to make money for C.A.L.M, though every penny raised will go to help the charity’s wonderful work, but to promote the fact that mental illness is no longer a taboo, especially in men, and that people DO care and are looking out for them.

This isn’t just a bunch of bands wanting to put their name to what is a super important cause, but the musicians involved in this compilation have a story to tell and a reason for donating a track – each one bringing an individual take on issues faced by many every day – all of which are incredibly moving and poignant.

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST LIVING MISERABLY (CALM) is a registered charity, which exists to prevent male suicide in the UK.

The buzz around it makes it seem like a revolutionary new concept. Based on ancient Eastern meditation practices, mindfulness simply refers to the ageless idea of being fully aware of the now moment instead of fretting about the past or the future.
