I Prevail’s vocalist posted a Facebook message about how hard the band worked to get to where they are and that they didn’t pay their way to “the top”:

I love when people talk shit about I Prevail and say we “paid” our way to the top. So many assholes have no clue how much we have busted our ass to get where we are. After going to college for a semester I decided it wasn’t for me and took a leap of faith by forming my own band. I was lucky enough to come across some great fucking dudes and musicians and we decided we would spend the next year writing, recording, and putting together all the pieces it takes to form a successful band.

So instead of talking shit about my band, maybe you should spend some time looking in the mirror and really think about your own endeavors and how much work you’ve put into it.

Seems like someone is protesting just a tad too much.
