Stolen Gear and Music Videos

This week, was a bitter sweet one. We got word that The Classic Crime was robbed in Seattle, and man are they mad. I do not blame them honestly. I am also getting annoyed with this. It feels like every month, I have to read off a story like this. If you would like to read the full story, check out TCC's blog (Click Here)

Here is the sweet news. Red has posted a brand new video for their song "Death of Me" (video below). This one of the new songs that comes off the new album in stores on the 10th. You can pre-order the new album by clicking HERE . The album comes in three versions. Standard, Deluxe, and Inferno. I am really looking forward to this new album. I am even tempted on getting the inferno edition, but I am not sure if my bank account will let me.
