June 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Jesse McFaddin, the Japanese rock icon, and founder of alternative 3 piece rock band RIZE has announced that he will release a new remixed version of the rock song Stand as a part of his cross platform project Stand Up!

Jesse is quoted as saying:

“Stand Up! Fund is a 100% user influenced, mash-up type of project where everybody can freely join in to create new content with me, regardless of age, genre, gender, religion, countries or whatever. I strongly believe in everyone having their own unique talents. They deserve to ‘Stand Up now’ and have their voices be heard around the globe. That is the bottom line of this project. I am pumped about the remix version of Stand, because I can see the same vibe with my project. Also, I want this cover version to become a liaison between my generation and my dad’s generation. On the flip side, or personally, June also has Father’s Day, in addition to my father’s birthday. So, it would be great if I can express my gratitude to him through this song.”

This version of Stand would be arranged as a dubstep version with NYC based budding music producer Pavel Bez. The song will be released in early July through iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and more. Jesse also announced that through the Stand Up! Fund project he will be launching a new collection for his men’s street wear fashion line Slip&Co. Slip&Co will be releasing a collection of t-shirts featuring designs crafted by the NY based fashion unit “Kompliment” with influences from the Stand Up! Fund concept.

He is also considered a fashion icon in Japan because of his clothing line Slip&Co, which is worn by many celebrities and sports figures in the country.
