News you may have missed! (8/21/21)
Simple Plan drop off NFG tour + Travis Barker flies for first time since 2008 + Now we know what band t-shirt is worn the most + New music you need to hear + MORE!!
It’s the weekend which means it’s time for another mailer! This is our first mailer in two weeks. Reason being: I was busy gearing up for and taking a vacation with the family. We went to Destin, FL for about a week. We had a good time, but it is great to be back.
This week brings us a lot of artists dropping off tours due to the pandemic, news of new music on the way from State Champs, Travis Barker flying for the first time since 2008, new music you should check out, and us answering the question: Why do people hate on Machine Gun Kelly?. Let’s go ahead and get to it.
Why do people hate on MGK? + Is touring headed for another shut down?
This week, Bailey and Tyler discussed a couple of topics. One, why do people keep shitting on Machine Gun Kelly? And two, with the constant news of another major rise in COVID cases spreading across the US, is it inevitable that touring will yet again be shut down?
Before they get to all of that, they discuss new music from LILHUDDY, Machine Gun Kelly and their initial thoughts on Angels and Airwaves upcoming album Lifeforms.
