AUSTIN PROG-ROCK     BAND NAZ RELEASES FIRST SINGLE 'AMERICAN FARM ANIMALS'

Debut song and video takes on the cruel practice of factory farming

AUSTIN, TX (Aug. 23, 2022) - Progressive rock band Naz has released its debut single     "American Farm Animals" which sheds light on the issue of factory     farming. Naz is led by Bosnian war survivor, singer and activist Nermin     Osmanovic who has created an 11-minute epic that was inspired by an     article about the veal boycott. 

"Hundreds of thousands of farm     animals are slaughtered every day in the land of the free," Osmanovic says. "We need to stop this now. We need to make     a positive change for a better future. We should make better food choices     and write to our representatives supporting farm animal rights     organizations. The ultimate goal of this art piece is to raise awareness     and get enough people to ask to make farm animals 'persons' and not     just property under the law."  

"American Farm Animals" has been     released on all the major music platforms (Apple Music, Spotify,     Amazon, iTunes, Pandora) – listen to it here    – as well as released as a video on YouTube directed     by Osmanovic and featuring the work of several     animators and illustrators.

"It's wonderful music, the beginning     of a great album," says veteran music producer Bob Katz. "It's     big, bold, impactful, full, warm and clear at the same time."

More about the inspiration behind     "American Farm Animals":

Each year in the United States, hundreds of millions of     animals are killed for human consumption. The amount of pain and suffering     these animals live through is unbearable and impossible for a single person     to comprehend. The main obstacle to achieving justice for Farm Animals in     America is inability of animal rights lawyers to defend the animals in the     courtroom due to any farm animal being considered property, and not a     person. We can change this by influencing the Supreme Court to give farm     animals proper rights. We all know and feel animals are intelligent,     emotional, and that they can feel pain. We need to stop treating them as     objects, but instead treat them as equals, and open doors to unconditional     love, kindness and happiness on Earth. It is our hope with this art piece     will inspire each listener to do something to make things right for our     beautiful farm animals.
