Haywire’s August 21 show at the Corazon Del Barrio in San Diego, CA ended up getting shut down by the police. As such, the band decided to play a guerilla-style set near the freeway. You can check out some fan-filmed footage of that below. Vocalist Austin Sparkman told the crowd the following:
“I wanna make something clear, to my knowledge It was not the venue that fucked us — it was the police department of San Diego. They sent a gang task force to close up Del Barrio today, and they cited the place, they condemned it. So now they have to get inspections by the the fucking fire marshal. Because they see what happens when Dead City plays. But what a bunch of fucking idiots, cause look at what we did. They just made us do what were gonna do anyway.”

Krallice have premiered a new song titled “Kill The Guardian.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Scour Order,” which will be released on September 18. Guitarist Colin Marston commented:
“‘Kill The Guardian’ is the other song on the record where all three of us have vocal verses. It was initiated by Mick and collaboratively arranged. We call this song ‘porridger.’ It’s soupy and nutritious. Thanks to Walter, Becky, and all at Roadburn for commissioning the new music on this album!”
Rob Zombie has recruited Cruel Hand drummer Ryan Goff for his immediate live shows. Goff is currently filling in for Ginger Fish.
Signs Of The Swarm have shared a new video for their cover of Rob Zombie’s “Dragula.” You can find that below. The clip features various guests including: Bam Margera (“Jackass”, etc.), Will Ramos (Lorna Shore), Trey Williams (Dying Fetus), Matt Greiner (August Burns Red), Jack Murray (156/Silence), Tyler Beam (The Last Ten Seconds Of Life), etc.
Drummer Bobby Crow commented:
“We’ve been trying to find the right song to cover and put a SOTS spin on for years. We tossed up so many ideas, from The Prodigy, to Slayer, to Static-X. We used to spin ‘Hellbilly Deluxe‘ on repeat to keep us awake on long tour drives, and we love tracks like ‘Living Dead Girl,‘ ‘Superbeast‘ and ‘Spookshow Baby,’ but one day we just started mouthing out ideas for what a SOTS version of ‘Dragula‘ would sound like. Immediately, we were like, ‘DAMN! This is The ONE!
We took it to our producer and engineer Josh Schroeder, who helped us come up with some beat loops, we tuned the guitars way down to drop fuck, and it all came together within a day.”
Vocalist David Simonich added:
“This video kind of spiraled out of control in the best way possible. We originally wanted to do a one-to-one recreation of the original video, but we couldn’t find the right car. We were tossing ideas around looking at rentals, and a Polaris Slingshot came up as a polar opposite to what we were going for.
Something clicked for us, and we thought that since we were trying to modernize the song, why not do the same for the video? We usually take our videos pretty seriously, so this gave us permission to let our freak flag fly. We started inviting any homies around the Eastern Pennsylvania area we’d be shooting, and it snowballed from there.
We had just gotten off tour with Lorna Shore, so we roped Will Ramos in. We’ve known fellow yinzers 156/Silence forever, so Jack Murray was an easy call. We hit it off hard with The Last Ten Seconds of Life, so we knew we had to make proper use of Tyler Beam‘s mustache. From there it got even more ridiculous as we started reaching out to ANYONE in the area we had connections with.
Our good friend Rhys tour managed and did sound for us in a break from his schedule with Dying Fetus, so he called up Trey Williams, who we dressed in a robot suit. We got in touch with August Burns Red since it was RIGHT by Lancaster, and Matt Greiner was down to smash some tubs (Bobby and Galactic Empire‘s Kevin Corkran filled out the video-accurate drum line).
And the absolute biggest shot in the dark was asking our friend Vicente who has shot videos for us and Bam Margera if he thought the skater would be down to drop in. As luck would have it, he was coming back to the West Chester area he made famous for the first time in months and made it happen! He brought along his friend and fellow pro-skater Dalton Dern, who suggested an ollie off a roof of a room in the warehouse we shot in. And that’s not even everyone! It was the icing on the cake of a day summed up by the phrase, ‘Sure, why not?’ to great result!”
