Chris Motionless, the frontman for Motionless In White posted a lengthy rant on his personal Tumblr blog about the music industry, and said some very powerful, moving things when it comes to fans saying that they or any other band saved their lives. "NO band X, Y or Z did not save your life. IF in fact you were on the brink of any self harming action… it was YOU who pulled yourself from the ledge. You saved your life, You are the hero." If you are interested in seeing what else Chris had to say, please feel free to do so here. Australian fans can catch Motionless In White along with A Day To Remember, HIM, Pennywise, Jimmy Eat World, and many more next year at the 2014 Soundwave Festival. |
