Fall Out Boy drummer Andy Hurley has released the following statement regarding his decision to handle the drums for Earth Crisis on the majority of their impending “Wrath Of Sanity Tour“, which kicks off on April 22nd:
“EARTH CRISIS is one of my favorite bands ever. They are the reason why I am vegan and straight edge. The origins of most of my philosophical/political beliefs come from them introducing me to a whole new way of thinking. When I was asked to fill in on the upcoming tour, I was beyond stoked. It felt like being called up to the major league, and I think that this will be the most fun I will have on a tour. Be sure to come check it out because this is a band whose songs beat in my heart and who have never forgotten how to write brutally awesome songs.”
Hurley will temporarily be filling in for band drummer Dennis Merrick, who is only currently able to play the first four shows of the trek.
