Jamey Jasta Reveals Solo Album Art, Track List

Posted by Chris Harris on June 15, 2011 in New Records, News

That is the cover of Hatebreed and Kingdom of Sorrow frontman Jamey Jasta’s upcoming solo album, Jasta. I happen to love Jamey’s logo. Nice play on the Major League Baseball logo.

S.O.S.

Hatebreed, Agnostic Front, Terror Dudes Send An S.O.S.

Posted by Chris Harris on May 4, 2011 in News

I wonder what S.O.S. stands for? I mean, other than distress or save our ships/save our souls, which is what people think S.O.S. stands for.
