I knew Mitch... not really well, but we knew each other (I.e. I'd see him at shows, he'd recognize me, we'd chat). His hometown of Riverside is 20 minutes from me. I wanted to throw up when I found out about him.. I don't know why it bothered me so much (obviously, finding out about someone you know passing is hard, but this was weird), but it did.
I've seen Attila a few times, good band, but those dudes smoke ridiculous amounts of pot lol. Also, Fronz (singer) was recently arrested lawl.
Erra is amazing. Great band. August Burns Red is probably one of the best bands I've ever seen live.
Currently listening to a pre-release of Bring Me The Horizon's new album Sempiternal. I love it, don't know what you guys will think of it, though. It's a big departure from their typical detuned sound.. much more rock influenced. Really good though.
