Nashville, TN - November 3, 2017 - Indie rock band Father Mountain is thrilled to share the third single from their forthcoming debut album, Apartment Living. Fans can check out "Sobriety" on Substream Magazine now, here: https://goo.gl/CBv2D4. Apartment Living will be released on November 10th, and is available for pre-order now at: www.fathermountain.com
"I didn't know the transition was coming when it did. There was no warning; other than too much being decided by the lack of deciding anything. I felt more than I said, said a lot but never much of anything," recalls vocalist Zane Martin.
He continues: "Miscommunication is something anybody would want to avoid, but when the fear of miscommunication results in the absence of communication, things get messy. I would lay in bed with the lights off, playing my guitar and drinking tequila, I would sing the things I meant to say and never did, my phone recording drunken thoughts over half written guitar parts. It took that to learn the only thing I had left to do was forgive myself. When we started writing the album, those recordings became 'Sobriety.'"
Father Mountain is Zane Martin (vocals, guitar), Travis Cox (bass, vocals), Jesse French (drums), and Austin Hohiemer (guitar, vocals).
Although the band now calls Nashville home, Father Mountain first began on a street corner in Owensboro, Kentucky, where they wrote the majority of their debut LP Apartment Living. As a result, it takes aesthetic influence from the feeling of growing up in perceived isolation in middle America. "In our formative years, friendships were as much a product of proximity as they were shared interests or ideologies," says Hohiemer. "As you grow up and learn how to be yourself, it can be hard to see where you fit in once you don't look like the same person you were in high school. For me, our music is a product of trying to figure out my place in the world outside of just my hometown."
Working for the first time with a third-party producer, Apartment Living was recorded and mixed in Atlanta, Georgia by Matt McClellan (Being As An Ocean, My Iron Lung, Capsize) and mastered by Jesse Cannon (Brand New, Bad Books, All Get Out), with the addition of Overslept's Elias Armao on drums. It spans various genre classifications, embracing aspects of guitar rock and pop, which allows Father Mountain to resist being aesthetically pigeonholed.
"Going into this I think we felt more comfortable as storytellers than as songwriters. We met over Bonnie Raitt; bonded over Manchester, Noname, short fiction audiobooks, and Rumi; then grew together living in a van with podcasts, Joyce manor and Jonwayne riding shotgun. That process of learning how to trust, forgive and create together is as much a story that bled on to this album as what we actually wrote about, discovering what it actually means to be friends." says Martin.
Apartment Living is the debut full-length album from Father Mountain, and will be released on November 10th, 2017. Pre-orders are available now at www.fathermountain.com

OPERATION UNDERGROUND RAILROAD PARTNERS WITH PITTSBURGH STEELERS TO SAVE CHILD TRAFFICKING VICTIMS
Salt Lake City, UT - Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) has partnered with the Pittsburgh Steelers to take a community approach to a global issue. While attending a Steelers practice this week, O.U.R. CEO Tim Ballard spoke with Coach Mike Tomlin and the team about the scale of child sex trafficking around the world and here in the United States. To date O.U.R. has rescued more than 745 victims and helped arrest 365 traffickers worldwide and the Steelers have demonstrated a clear interest in furthering those efforts.
“They rescue kids worldwide in the sex trafficking and child slave industry,” explained Coach Tomlin. “It really captured our attention. We got behind. This is something that is easy to get behind. This is something that everybody within our group, every man, to a man, got behind. I look forward to further involvement moving forward.”
“Awareness is the biggest problem,” said Ballard. “It’s not something you want to look at. It’s horrific. These are children. It’s easy to turn a blind eye to it. As long as we do that, this problem is never going to go away. We need to get the word out and we can think of no one better than the Pittsburgh Steelers help us do that. If you see something is off, you look at a kid who doesn’t seem to belong to that adult. There is something inside human beings that we sense something is wrong. If you do, call the police. It could lead to something bigger.”
To learn more about this initiative and see Coach Tomlin’s and Tim’s joint press conference please visit the Pittsburgh Steelers website here.
Operation Underground Railroad is registered 501(c)3 organization. Bringing together former CIA, Navy SEALs, and Special Ops operatives, O.U.R. partners with local law enforcement agencies around the world to save children from this modern day slavery. Founded by CEO Tim Ballard in 2013, O.U.R. has rescued more than 745 victims and helped arrest over 365 traffickers worldwide.

Hemp, Inc. Announces Delivery of Advanced CBD Hemp Oil Extraction Post Processing Equipment
SPRING HOPE, NC -- (Marketwired) -- 11/02/17 -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today it has received all brand new, state-of-the-art components of the cannabidiol (CBD) post processing equipment to complete the Company's hemp oil extraction infrastructure (Division 2). The latest equipment additions to the Company's extraction operation will be assembled in the coming days.
"We chose the most cutting edge, state-of-the-art processing equipment on the market, from Across International, to ensure our CBD extracts lead the industry in quality and consistency, allowing us to bring innovative bulk CBD products to market. We have also partnered with Across International to display this state-of-the-art equipment at our Hemp University educational symposiums in the upcoming year. This equipment allows us to 'winterize' the raw CBD crude oil. After the CBD crude oil is winterized, we are able to perform the remaining post processing so that we can make an array of products, including but not limited to tinctures and cartridges to put it in vape pens... our options are limitless with this equipment," said David Schmitt, COO of Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC.
In August, Hemp, Inc. announced the official launch of its NuAxon Tech CO2 Supercritical Extractor.
"The completion of our hemp oil extraction infrastructure will allow us to ramp up production of CBD products, creating increased Company value for the public and shareholders." said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. "The market price of CBD crystalline isolate was commonly $20,000 per kilogram at the early part of 2017. While prices have gone down this year, in some cases, to as low as $6,500 per kilo on the lowend volume price, CBD full spectrum extract making customized formulas have in some cases gone up and other cases gone down. Whether the price decreases or increases, I think it's important to note and remind our shareholders that while we expect significant returns from our hemp oil extraction, it's a secondary component of our overall business plan that we added to 'enhance' our revenues. Hemp, Inc.'s primary business is focused on producing non-toxic loss circulation material (LCM) and spill absorbents for the oil and gas industries."
In oil or gas well drilling, "loss circulation" occurs when drilling fluid flows into one or more geological formations instead of returning up the annulus. "Loss circulation" can be a serious problem during the drilling of an oil well or gas well. Hemp, Inc., as mentioned in a previous press release, has a provisional patent that covers Hemp, Inc.'s process of dramatically reducing the time, cost, and energy required to create LCMs and spill absorbents using natural plant materials - resulting in a higher quality product for the oil and gas industries.
"Aside from our LCMs, we look forward to showcasing how our new, state-of-the-art post processing CBD equipment at our first 2018 Hemp University educational symposium. Our Hemp University educational symposiums have been an overwhelming success and they're growing. We had to stop selling tickets at the last symposium because we were over capacity. We originally planned for only 100 attendees but there were over 140 people in attendance. We're expecting the number of attendees to double at the next symposium, scheduled for December 2, 2017. Of course, we plan to hold it at a much larger venue. We strongly encourage you to buy your tickets early. We will definitely sell out and this isn't marketing hype," says Perlowin. "The hemp educational infrastructure we provide through 'The Hemp University' is delivering on our goal to make America great again by making America hemp again. We are teaching farmers, landowners, investors and entrepreneurs how to create a profitable income stream by maximizing their, per-acre crop revenue."
To register now for the next Hemp University education symposium: Hemp Money Event, Economics, Lessons, and Planning for 2018, and ensure you're able to get a ticket before it's sold out, click here. In farming lingo,” the early bird gets the worm", says Perlowin.
About Hemp, Inc. With a deep-rooted social and environmental mission at its core, Hemp, Inc. seeks to build a business constituency for the American small farmer, the American veteran, and other groups experiencing the ever-increasing disparity between tapering income and soaring expenses. As a leader in the industrial hemp industry with ownership of the largest commercial multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in North America, Hemp, Inc. believes there can be tangible benefits reaped from adhering to a corporate social responsibility plan.
