WMMR Announces GRUNGEFEST

WMMR is a local rock station who have decided to put on a summer rock festival. It is similar to KROQ in Los Angeles, but with whatever schlop is on their station. Generally they do a good job putting on a festival of young bands, old bands, and popular bands.

Last year they had ZZ Top and The Offspring, the year before Stone Temple Pilots. Well this year it is GRUNGEFEST. You thought grunge died with Kurt Cobain, you were WRONG. Headlining the festival is Alice in Chains and Stone Temple Pilots. Then Post-grunge band Three Days Grace and Three Days Grace meets Jesus band, Skillet. But my favorite addition to this bill is Fuel.

Now I know what you are all thinking..."Craig, surely you jest. Fuel broke up a while ago so Bret Scallions could follow his dream of being the assistant jizz mopper in a porn theater in Boston." Well BnR reader, don't call me Shirley and he was the assistant to the assistant jizz mopper at that porn theater.

Fuel has reunited with original lead singer Bret Scallions after the beer swilling frat boy, Toryn Green left or was kicked out. Frankly I don't know because Fuel's Wikipedia page still has him as the lead singer.

You don't remember Toryn Green? He sang on Fuel's album Angels and Demons. You don't remember that album? Well that is understandable because it stunk. Here is his Wiki.

Fuel's Wikipedia page doesn't have anything about Bret reuniting for this festival, which is bizarre. Am I breaking this news?

In that case, maybe I should write their press release:

Philadelphia, PA — After years of being apart, like estranged lovers who share a child together, Bret Scallions, Carl Bell, and Jeff Abercrombie have reunited their band Fuel. The pop grunge act of the 90's with hits like Sunburn, Hemorrhage (In My Hands), and Falls on Me, will be ready to SLAY the summer festival scene. Having sold eleventy bazillion records, Fuel is ready to take the cash and run this summer.

    As I mentioned yesterday, my local radio station is putting on their summer festival. It is GRUNGEFEST 2010 with Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Fuel, Three Days Grace and Skillet. The show isn't until May, but they announced it yesterday. You can read my thoughts on the show here. But this post isn't about the lineup, it is about the promotion of the event. I hate Three Days Grace. They fucking blow asshole. I turn the channel every time I hear them. Skillet isn't much better with their Christian imagery and redeeming ...
