I saw them in Pittsburgh last night, if you're even a little bit into them, I highly suggest getting your ass to a show immediately, because they are fucking amazing live. They are ferocious and entertaining, it was awesome.

Amazing show in Pittsburgh, these guys are great human beings. You won't find energy like this in any other band.

Loooooooove them. I was lucky enough to see them live last night in San Diego (the Belly Up in Solana Beach) and its safe to say they melted a lot of faces. I even got to meet them after the show and they were super cool and humble. Much love and respect to the them and all the fans.
