The Staunch Moderates Intellectual Movement, Rapper Casanova Ace and DJ Staunch Release Sophomore Album, Mission Peace, Doubling Down on the Movement's Intellectual and Political Philosophy of Moderation Over Extremism.

New Album "Mission Peace" Dropped Friday August 26, 2022

ASPEN, Colo., Aug. 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mission Peace is the second album to be released by the Staunch Moderates Movement, considered to be a "Chapter Two" chronicling of the Movement's latest missives and endeavors performed through the Movement's familiar melodious R&B, jazzy cool hip-hop spoken word first introduced in its 2021 debut album The First Realm. As with the debut album, Mission Peace is representative of the Movement's belief that it can reach a broader, more diverse audience through various creative mediums, and it's working for them. The Movement recently crested over 36 million (more than 10% the US population) total streams and views of its audio and visual content, is consistently increasing its following across social and digital outlets and has been growing rotation on numerous traditional radio and cable outlets across the country.

The album's nine new tracks were written and performed by Staunch Moderates co-founder Gregory T. Simmons and rapper Casanova Ace (a.k.a. Clemmie Garard), with contributions once again from notable producer/musicians Jeffery "Skunk" Baxter, lead guitarist for the Doobie Brothers and founding member of Steely Dan and CJ Vanston, former keyboardist for Tears for Fears who also has collaborated with many of the greats throughout his career (Dali Lama, Ringo Star, Joe Cocker, etc.). The album is also morally supported by the Movement's bigger than life mascot, DJ Staunch, the eight-foot-tall Bigfoot character who embodies the Movement's home base of Independence Pass, Continental Divide, Colorado. DJ Staunch is the face of the Movement's musical endeavors, not only spinning its beats but also hosting concerts and marches to spread the word. The first single promoted from the album is the first track, "Love."

Each of the nine tracks carry its own level of importance to the Movement, but of particular note is the album's third track, "Bigfoots Football," which details the Staunch Moderates' take on a new professional expansion football team. To coincide with this song's release, the Movement is also releasing a "Bigfoots Football" documentary series through its Staunch Moderates News Television studio, providing a behind-the-scenes look into the development and execution of this trademarked sports concept. The documentary/music clips began airing August 1^st on the Movement's YouTube channel Staunch Moderates News.
