These guys are friends of mine - www.friendsofemmet.com They're trying desperetly hard to raise awareness (& funds) for depression & suicide.

All proceeds from the sale of their track Coming Apart via itunes is going to be donated to the likes of aware in Ireland & the American Mental Health Foundation in the US.

The guy in the white shirt in the video is Kevin Hines. He's one of only 23 people to have survived a suicide attempt of jumping from the golden gate bridge (google him). The song is about him & he's now a friend of the band. He currently tours America giving talks about depression & his story of survival & how people can come through it.

Go to the site, find them on facebook & add yourselves as a fan. They're doing great work with very little (read none) media support. & the more people that support them, the better they can do to spread the word.
