It was a twenty-something metalhead’s dream come true. Howorth built it up big to me: I’d get free admission to the show and some free merch. I plastered record store message boards and walls with those posters. I agreed and he sent me a large envelope full of promotional materials (pins, stickers, fliers, etc.). Louis (at the time they were labeless and were on a Do It Yourself tour) and asked if I’d do some promotion for them. He then told me that ITM was coming to St. Eventually, I listened to In This Moment’s (ITM) songs on their profile, loved them and started letting Howorth know. We dorked out (over an exchange of messages) about “obscure” thrash bands that not many (at that time) knew about (namely, Pissing Razors and Substance D). Turns out their guitarist (Chris Howorth) had friend requested me due to some of the bands I had listed in the music section of my profile. I accepted the request and then really just forgot about it.īut then I started to get messages from them. Now, I accepted their request not knowing who they were (one always accepts friend requests from someone with a mysterious and nondescript name in hopes that it’s that hot ex-girlfriend trying to reconnect, and trying not to be obvious about it). ![]() Eventually, bands started to send me friend requests. So, I started friending a bunch of local metal bands I loved and expanding my friend requests beyond my tri-state area. See, back in 2005 I was on Myspace (as was everyone) and it took me a few months before I realized that bands were on Myspace. ![]() To say that I’ve been with In This Moment since the beginning could not be a more true statement.
