So here we are, and the first day is done. Our first destination of the tour was the The Galleria in Rock Hill, which is conveniently located right off of I-77, only about an hour or so from Columbia. Touring Hot Topic’s verses regular venues is a whole new concept to us, and because of [...]

You know you are cool when you have xACUTEx, Stonewall Stampede, Veara, Aviary Fire, Sludgebomb, The Day is Nathan’s, In Regret, Mainlined and Where it Ends playing at your 21st birthday party.
