Head Bang For Haiti

So I've had a couple of bands tell me via myspace/facebook that they would be interested in playing the show. After the encouragement I'm deciding that I am going to try to book it. It will probably take place over the summer just because that will be when everyone is most available and when the most people can come out. I am still looking for two more bands ( I want to try to persuade ancestor to headline). So really I'm looking for one more band with the assumption that ancestor will hop on. I'm going to look into some places to where it could be held and I have a few in mind. I should also mention that I myself suck at making any sort of flyer and when all of the bands are on. Right now just about hearing bands that would want to play the current line up is Embedded Within, Slaughter of Elysium and Within the Black. If the members of any of these bands read this and do not want to be associated with the show just kindly tell me and I'll take the name off. I just heard from either some one in your band or someone close to your band that you guys would play.
Like I said summer, Brutality, Charity...It's gonna be sweet.
Stay Brutal

What Do Fall Out Boy, Anthrax and Every Time I Die have in common?

The Damned Things is what. After what is expected to be an indefinite hiatus from Fall Out Boy, drummer Andy Hurley and Lead Guitarist Joe Trohman will be teaming up with Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano (guitars) as well as Keith Buckley (vocals) and bass player David Karon of Every Time I Die. according to sources the band was created in October of 2008 but kept secret for the past two year and a half.

The Band appprantly has 15 songs and will be going into a studio sometime in the near future to record a sound that I don't even know if I'm ready for.

I'm intrested to see what this band will bring to the stage. I have heard that Andy Hurley and Joe Trohman are metal heads and have played in some hardcore bands before settling into pop-punk. As far as the rest of the line up goes, Keith Buckley does have the thrash/hardcore voice that the two seasoned guitarist of Anthrax are use to playing behind.

For more on this band you can read rolling stone (this is where I got the bulk of what you're reading)
