It featured a cross section of the band's catalog, newly remixed and remastered to celebrate the band's more than two decades together. The band has put together a prize package which includes a signed Paiste cymbal and Remo drumhead and more for one grand prize winner as well as prizes for two runner ups.
Face to Face hit the House of Blues, San Diego stage with a twenty-song set that took fans over the top.

Loooong before affixing "-core" to a genre became an insult, '90s SoCal punk rockers Strung Out were shredding it up on top of D-beats played faster than most tr00 drummers could blast if Dino Cazares was threatening to sit on them. Strung Out combined guitar acrobatics with Bad Religion-style anthemic punk before metalcore was even [...]
