Jamie over at Hard Rock Chick has posted an in-depth personal account of her trip to Crue Fest last week. It’s filled with good times and nosebleed seats. You should go check it out. She also posted an interview with Charm City Devils, in which they essentially prove that they are charming.
Check it out here:
It’s a good read, decent interview (I promise, the audio does get better), and if you’ve never been over to her site, it’s worth bookmarking.

Chris Beattie, Hatebreed’s bassist, posted the following message regarding the upcoming “Decimation of the Nation” tour:
“The Hatebreed tour machine is back on the road this summer with our good friends in Chimaira to bring you the first leg of the Decimation Of The Nation Tour. You’re not going to find anything heavier than this tour in 2009, unless we’re on that too! Get there early and check out all the bands. There is enough mosh to go around! Bring your ass to the show and you will not be disappointed!”
We shall see, Chris… we shall see.
