Hatebreed are a band I’ve heard in passing throughout my years as a barmaid in a rock club, and although I couldn’t actually name any of their songs off the top of my head, I did recognise a few of them from where I was sitting eating dinner.
To be honest I only heard their set from behind the stage in the press area but the reaction from the crowd seemed pretty intense and I can imagine that behind the wall was a shed load of moshing and guys with bike chains around their necks giving the rock hands.
Everyone around me was itching to finish their interviews and get out into the ‘arena’ to watch the band’s set, so I guessed that they were pretty hot stuff despite it being still fairly early on in the day.
My friend have informed me though that the set was one I “shouldn’t have missed for my caeser salad” and that any Hatebreed fan would have loved their set from beginning to end, and that Jamey Jasta did an epic job on the day.
