Sick of It All Hit By Drunk Driver

Sick of It All

Sick of It All’s tour van was hit by a drink driver last night. Thankfully everyone appears to be ok.

Last night a drunk driver plowed into the side of our bandwagon. We are all ok, aches and pains, bumps and bruises as far as we know for now. We don’t know how the guy who hit us is but he wasn’t looking good when they pulled him out. We are feeling a little stiff but we are still playing tonight at 8:00 on the Hard Rock stage! Thank you so much to Bad Cop Bad Cop and Valiant Thor for coming back to pick us up so we can make the show. Hauling our Merch and setting it up. Laila and Sonic Boom Six for lending us their hotel room for much needed rest! Dom and Bunny for selling! Thanks for all the well wishes.

Sponsor: My Thanks to Off Island Ghost

Off Island Ghost

My sincere thanks to Off Island Ghost for sponsoring the website this week. This duo recently released their new EP, Impossible Things, and after checking it out I immediately added to my Apple Music collection. It’s good! It’s got a nice little mix of modern and early 2000’s alternative rock thrown in. It’s definitely worth giving a look.

You can check out a lyric video for “Wildfire” on YouTube. And the EP is up on Spotify and iTunes.

And quite a bit more. It’s pretty nuts scrolling through this list and seeing so many great bands.

Dave Grohl Talks With Rolling Stone

Foo Fighters

Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters sat down with Rolling Stone:

To write the lyrics, Grohl rented an AirBnB in Ojai, California. “I brought a case of wine and sat there in my underwear with a microphone for about five days, just writing,” he says. “It happened at the perfect time. I was inspired by what was going on with our country – politically, personally, as a father, an American and a musician. There was a lot to write about.”
