Bad Wolves have partnered with Global Recovery Initiatives (GRI) to use a new video for their song “Sober” as a platform to raise awareness of GRI's efforts to provide access to recovery support services all around the U.S.
GRI is raising funds for the purpose of putting a thousand AmeriCorps recovery workers in the field to help with recovery housing, recovery coaching, peer support groups and job training resources.
“Sober” is the current single from Bad Wolves' latest album N.A.T.I.O.N. and also the lead song from the soundtrack of the upcoming movie Sno Babies. The video incorporates footage from the film and portrays the devastating impact of addiction on families and relationships, while also emphasizing that recovery is possible.
Bad Wolves singer Tommy Vext told us that the song deals with the issue of addiction from a different perspective: “Throughout, you know, rock history, there's a lot of songs about the artist suffering in the first person. And so 'Sober' is a song that talks about the family disease of alcoholism and drug addiction, and it talks about the relationships. You know, what it's like to be in a relationship with someone who's drinking and using.”
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Sno Babies soundtrack will go to help fund the GRI campaign. Bad Wolves will hit the road later this spring with Hollywood Undead.
