Kochmit (Switched) and Ryan Bennett (Texas Hippie Coalition) as well as military veteran, Donald ‘DC’ Carpenter (Submersed) who says of his band’s involvement in the project “I have always been sensitive to issues that face our troops Stateside & abroad. When our good friend Fran mentioned that he & Aaron (Lewis of Staind) were going to be making this film & that he would like for us to be involved with the music, we were very humbled.” Their latest album, IMPACT, is available via their store on http://eyeempire.storenvy.com/ now.
