The music of System of a Down, as well as singer Serj Tankian's solo endeavors, can be off-putting to some. It's heavy and melodic and funky and loud at the same time. On a personal note, I have always liked it a lot. With that said, it doesn't appeal to everyone and therefore is rarely on the radio as much as pop music is. So you might not know about Serj Tankian, but you should. All music talk aside, Serj is serious about environmentalism and you should support him whereever you get the chance to.
Serj has a website: Sky Is Over. It's nothing fancy. It simply helps his fans locate environmental organizations. But when you're a rock star with countless fans, pointing them in the right direction is a nice move.
On top of launching his website, Serj also partnered up with Rage Against The Machine's guitarist, Tom Morello, to form Axis of Justice. Although the organization is focused on social justice rather than environmental justice, both founders are advocates of environmental protection and are not shy about using their music or the organization as a platform from which to speak on the matter.
On top of all of this, Serj is one of many musicians now working alongside Reverb for a cleaner and greener music career. Support Serj! You can do this by keeping up to date with his Myspace page where he updates his schedule and news.
