We all get down at times, right? But you may be shocked to learn that suicide is the biggest killer of blokes aged 15-35 in the UK.

The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) was launched in the legendary clubs of Manchesters Sankeys Soap in 1998 and in Cream on Merseyside in 2000. In March 2006 it re-launched as a national charity, as a response to the above fact.

CALM uses music as a channel to communicate and reach out to anyone having problems or battling depression by giving them something to identify with and offering somewhere to talk about their problems in confidence. There's a cool website with info about issues like relationships, drugs and debt, plus music exclusives, interviews and challenging articles.

CALM also offers information and advice via a friendly helpline where you can talk confidentially and anonymously to an adviser. We support them and want to make everyone aware of one of the coolest campaigns out there!

CALM is throwing a couple of parties to launch their own magazine, RESET. Funkademia will be playing at both of them along with Everything Everything, Delphic, Kid British, Gareth Brooks and Janice Graham Band.
