You may or may not remember one of our first interviews back in the day with Blessthefall. It was done in 2007 when Craig Mabbitt was still in the band and you were just starting puberty. We talked about their inspirations, the early days of the group, and what kind of band they wanted to become. We wonder if they evolved into what they had hoped for.
When we interviewed The Safety Fire last summer, guitarist Derya “Dez” Nagle told us about some pranks the band pulled on Protest The Hero the first time they toured the US with them. Apparently during the last show of the North American tour, TSF got onstage during Protest The Hero’s set and did a naked conga line. Pretty spicy if you ask us.
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! As you know by now, Miss May I got a fan to get their lion logo tattooed on their back to use as the cover for their new album. Interestingly enough, they captured it all on camera.
Of Mice & Men have been out on a huge North American co-headlining tour with Bring Me The Horizon, supporting their new album Restoring Force, which came out last month through Rise Records.
How cool would it have been to see At The Drive-In do a house show back in the day? Well if you ask Norma Jean frontman Cory Brandan, he’ll tell you all about it. When we did an interview with him a few months ago he said he got the see ATDI do a house gig shortly after Relationship of Command came out. Can you imagine that? We’re totes jealous.
