- Abstract
The article discusses the Iraqi musical rock-and-roll band Acrassicauda. Interest in the band has grown since it was featured in the 2007 documentary "Heavy Metal in Baghdad," directed by Spike Jonze. Band members include Marwan Hussein, Faisal Talal Mustafa, Tony Yaqoo, and Firas Abdul Razaq. They are among some 30,000 refugees who have fled Iraq for the U.S. since 2003.
