With the start of each new year comes a fresh chance to shine a light on important issues and that is exactly what rock veterans Papa Roach are doing. I’d love to set up an interview with the band to chat about their “Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)” campaign in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
The band launched the campaign late last year while on tour with Shinedown, when they pledged a portion of ticket sales from each show directly to the AFSP. These donations were made in support of their "Talk Away The Dark" initiative, which teaches people how to look for the warning signs for suicide and how to have a conversation that could save a life. Papa Roach concluded the tour with the release of “Leave A Light On (Talk Away the Dark)” - including a moving live video comprised of clips from throughout the tour - and a staggering $155k donation to the AFSP.
