In addition to providing alt-rock pioneers, System of a Down, with undeniably unique vocals, Serj Tankian is certainly one of the most unconventional frontmen in rock music today not only as a musician, but also as a writer, producer and humanitarian. Tankian has been active and vocal about everything from his criticism of the current administration (with his non-profit organization, Axis of Justice), to support for free speech and environmental education programs.
Serj Tankian plays at Toads Place Richmond, February 13th.
