Pride and Glory is a crime drama centered around character Ray Tierney, played by
Norton, a member of a multi-generational Irish-American police family in New York
City. When he investigates a case that involves his brother-in-law Jimmy Egan
(Farrell), Tierney has to choose between his loyalty to his family and his loyalty
to the NYPD. The film is cowritten and directed by Gavin O'Connor (Miracle).

Mezklah's new four-track EP Bestia Sonika is also slated for an October release. The
EP showcases the band's enhanced sound with tinges of dub-reggae style production
and exhilarating genre-blending, with strains of cumbia, reggae, hip-hop and rock.
Guitarist Greg Hernandez says, "We've always blended the organic side and the
electronic side in our music, but now, with the new members, we feel free to go in a
completely organic direction if we want to." The disc was produced by Cesar Mejia
(Brian Eno, Herbie Hancock) at Shelter Staff Studios in Los Angeles.

Mezklah has an international reputation as one of the few groups making a case that
"there's more to Latin music than those endless mariachis in cheesy sombreros that
infest Sabado Gigante," (Ink 19 Magazine) with notable critical acclaim for their
debut album Spider Monkey. They recently completed yet another round of
globe-trotting, playing gigs in Oaxaca, Mexico and the Tokyo Music Festival along
the way. During their travels, the band has played to a crowd of 20,000 at Mexico
City's La Feria del Libro festival, played the first ever rock en español concert in
Memphis, Tennessee and opened for such acts as Ozomatli, Kinky, Maldita Vencidad and
Antibalas.

Upcoming dates:

October 25 The Uptown, Oakland, CA
November 1 6th Street Bridge, Festival De La Gente, Los Angeles, CA
November 7 Tangier, Los Angeles, CA
