Tom Morello Releases 'Adjourn It' With Serj Tankian and Son Roman

The video ties footage from a once‑blacklisted 1954 labor film to present‑day immigration policy, framing the song as a protest anthem that precedes Morello’s activist tour and festival plans.

Overview

  • The single was released May 29, 2026 and features System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian alongside Morello’s 15‑year‑old son Roman.
  • The official video intercuts studio footage with clips from the 1954 film Salt of the Earth to draw a line between mid‑century labor struggles and current immigration and anti‑fascist themes.
  • Morello and Tankian present 'Adjourn It' as a protest song targeting ICE practices and the rise of authoritarianism, with Tankian directly criticizing family separations and racial profiling by immigration authorities.
  • The track is billed as the second single from Morello’s forthcoming solo album on Mom + Pop and was produced by Zakk Cervini, placing it in an independent release campaign rather than a major‑label rollout.
  • Morello will begin a summer 2026 European festival run in early June and has announced the politically framed Power to the People festival for Oct. 3 near Washington, D.C., continuing his pattern of pairing new music with public activism.
