Motionless In White – Loud (Fuck It): A Video Breakdown
Fuck fuckity fuck fuck.
The announcement for Warped Tour’s lineup is just around the corner. I know most reading this aren’t exactly on the edge of their seat. In recent years, Warped Tour has shifted away from it’s punk rock roots to a more contemporary lineup. I don’t blame them. It’s the kids that spend the money so you might as well cater to them. There are some rumors going around this year, though, that might make some older fans happy. While unconfirmed, there is talk that Bad Religion, Lagwagon, Hatebreed and Gwar may be taking part this year. Tempting. Then again, Emmure is also rumored to be playing, so y’know, win some, lose some.
Motionless In White actually got their big break playing on Warped Tour. The Scranton, Pennsylvania natives caught the attention of Sawn Miike from Alesana and were eventually signed to Fearless Records. Now on Roadrunner Records, the nu-metalcore band recently released their fourth album, Graveyard Shift. That’s a humble beginnings story. I can’t recall ever listening to the band. It probably had something to do with their image. Was judging a book by its cover the right thing to do? Let’s find out together.
